Elixore Range

The Elixore range is perfectly inert, colorless, and odorless aliphatic diluents dedicated liquid-liquid metal extraction processes. They are used as a diluent in the composition of the organic phase required for the Solvent Extraction (SX) process of metals (copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, uranium, rare-earth metals, etc.).

TotalEnergies Ecosolution Advantages

Thanks to TotalEnergies Fluids’ patented HDA catalytic hydrogenation process at Oudalle, France and Bayport, US plants, the Elixore range not only meets but goes beyond the strict regulatory environmental requirements.
The aromatic content of Elixore is very low and sometimes non-existent (well below the regulations). The PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) << 1 ppm while BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene) < 1ppm.
Elixore is Readily Biodegradable, with an extremely limited eco-toxicological impact on the environment (≥ 60% according to OECD 301A-F/ASTM D7373 tests within 28 days)

The Environmental Performance

Ecotoxicological risks reduced by: 18,000 compared to diesel cuts
Toxicity markers concentration decrease by: 46,000 compared to diesel cuts
