Five Decades+ of Innovation

Pioneering Critical Metals Recovery

From our Freeport, Texas headquarters, MOVA Metals has led advanced metallurgical processing for over 50 years, securing essential materials for industry and energy transition.

Our Journey

Evolution in Materials Science

MOVA Metals began by mastering the recovery of strategic metals from spent petroleum-refining catalysts. This foundational expertise in pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical technologies established our reputation for transforming complex waste streams into high-purity industrial commodities.

Today, we extend this legacy into the critical energy transition, developing advanced processes for lithium-ion battery recycling and the production of battery-grade materials. Our commitment to closed-loop supply chains reduces virgin resource dependence and drives circularity.

Core Capabilities

Integrated Metallurgical Processes

Pyrometallurgical Recovery

Our high-temperature calcination furnaces efficiently separate and concentrate metals from complex spent materials, forming the robust foundation of our recovery operations.

Hydrometallurgical Synthesis

Precision wet-chemical separation and purification techniques refine these concentrated streams into high-purity chemical compounds, ready for reintroduction into industrial supply chains.
