Join this webinar to learn how to maximize operational savings, reduce cost, and optimize the metal extraction or refining process.
Overview
The mining sector faces continuing challenges. They must deliver on the fundamentals of operational efficiency and cost management while operating safely, responsibly, sustainably, and with lower lifecycle GHG emissions, all while managing depleting resources.
Choosing the right diluent is key to optimizing solvent extraction performance in hydrometallurgical systems. Escaid™ 110 fluid enables faster, more consistent phase separation due to its optimized viscosity, density, and low aromatic content. These properties also enhance safety and operational efficiency, making diluent selection critical for the recovery of Rare Earth Elements (REEs), as well as critical battery materials including lithium, nickel, and cobalt.
Key Takeaways
Our presentation is focused on solvent extraction in mining and how diluent selection could impact process performance and safety.
- Compare several diluents to provide insights on how diluent composition and properties can influence solvent extraction and metal recovery performance.
- Examine diluent safety, health, and environmental characteristics to show how diluent choice could enhance industrial hygiene, improve personnel safety, and potentially reduce environmental impacts.

Danielle Singleton works at ExxonMobil as a Customer & Application Development Advisor for the hydrocarbon fluids business. Her previous experience at ExxonMobil as a catalyst R&D chemist for ten years allows her to think of the products on a molecular level. This allows her to better understand her customers' quality and application needs. She supports the well-established mining industry customers and the emerging battery recycling application, where she leverages her knowledge of the Escaid™ products, the unique binding characteristics of metals, to demonstrate how these diluents are advantaged in the field of hydrometallurgy. She holds an Master of Science from the University of Michigan and has been listed as an inventor on nine different global patents from her time at ExxonMobil.
