IXT personnel were responsible for the piloting, as well as the design and pre-commissioning of the CCIX ion exchange plant at Chambishi Metals in Zambia.  The IX system was designed to remove Nickel from the cobalt electrolyte using Dow 4195 bispicolylamine resin.

CCIX technology was used primarily to reduce the resin inventory of the system

IXT personnel were responsible for the design and commissioning of the Nickel recovery plant at Palabora Mining in South Africa, constructed by Roytec Global. The plant included a fixed bed Copper guard system, as well as a continuous counter-current Nickel recovery IX system.
The Ni IX process involved recovery of Ni from a 5 gpl Ni neutralised stream from the COPPER TANK HOUSE liberator cells, and upgrading the Ni to more than 60 gpl Ni in the product. The nickel is recovered by crystallisation.

IXT has recently conducted a feasibility study for Cobalt recovery for an international mining company utilizing ion exchange for purification of the Co stream, as well as a CCIX system for Co recovery and concentration.
