Umincorp
"Magnetic Density Separation with ferromagnetic fluids and special designed magnets"
Umincorp (Urban Mining Corp) was established in 2012 to develop and market its new, unique and patented MDS separation technology. This MDS (Magnetic Density Separation) technology makes use of ferromagnetic fluids and specially designed magnets.
MDS can be applied in the field of recycling (urban mining), mineral processing (mining) and other application areas that demand high-reliable sorting in a profitable way like in the seed industry. Umincorp licenses its breakthrough MDS technology, offers MDS machines to companies and is open to form exclusive partnerships with clients in specific market areas.
The technique was developed by the department of Resources & Recycling of the TU Delft, headed by professor Peter Rem.
