S.M.Art Metals

Problem and implemented solution

S.M.Art Metals – it’s the deep-tech innovative project which main element is the technology of low-cost iron-containing nanopowders obtaining via groundwater treatment plants technogenic wastes. The key, global problem that the project is aimed at solving is reducing water stress around the world. Taking into account the dynamics of increasing the share of groundwater use related to non-renewable sources, our goal is to make their use rational, including by reducing the costs of using deep underground water sources and/or having a high share of natural mineralization.

Implementation geography

At the moment, the technology has been implemented in the Russian Federation, in the Tyumen region. By the end of 2025, it is planned to implement the developed solutions in the territory of the EAEU member states. By the end of 2026, a pilot implementation is planned in the territory of the BRICS+ member states. Of particular interest to us are Brazil, India and China due to the significant share of the urban population, as well as the established similarity of technological and hydrogeological parameters, which will significantly simplify the adaptation of solutions already tested in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Description of competitive advantages

One of the main advantages of the developed technological solutions is its fast and low-cost adaptation to existing water management infrastructure facilities without interfering with key water treatment processes. The adaptability of the developed technologies is based on the significant similarity, up to complete unification in different parts of the world, of the key process of groundwater treatment – aeration. Thus, the uniformity of the water purification process leads to uniformity and high predictability of the properties of technogenic raw materials, including one of the most important parameters – particle size and other granulometric properties. After thermochemical treatment, iron compounds change from a non-magnetic to a ferromagnetic state, which allows using standard solutions for the mining industry for magnetic separation and purification from impurities. Standard methods for obtaining ferromagnetic fine particles require either high energy consumption to ensure the operation of expensive crushing and grinding equipment, or the use of a precipitation process from solutions that require chemical reagents that affect the environmental situation in the production area, and it also becomes difficult to control the granulometric parameters of the generated ferromagnetic particles.
