Itronics President Dr. John Whitney to Speak About Breakthrough E-Scrap Refining Technology at Prestigious Resource Recovery Conference

RENO, Nev., Sept. 14, 2017 -- Itronics Inc. (OTC:ITRO), a diversified producer of GOLD’n GRO zinc fertilizers and silver products and a green technology development Company, is pleased to announce that Dr. John Whitney, its founder and Chairman, will serve as speaker at the prestigious resource recovery and waste management conference sponsored by the Envirobiz Group (www.envirobiz.com) at the Marriott Coronado Island, San Diego, CA., Sept. 18-21.

The conference annually works to stimulate creative thinking on strategies for waste management and resource recovery, facilitates the exchange of information between key executives in these sectors and allows executives to renew or establish new business relationships.

Dr. Whitney will speak to the group about Value-Added Recycling technologies being developed by Itronics.  Included will be a summary of non-photo chemical processes that are being developed with an emphasis on Itronics breakthrough E-Scrap Refining Technology that completely recovers the energy and metals, including silver, gold, palladium, copper and tin contained in the e-scrap (discarded computer circuit boards), thereby eliminating the waste from the environment.  Dr. Whitney will also tell the group that Itronics has begun testing its KAM-Thio liquid which uses the processed photochemistry as an ingredient to demonstrate its ability to neutralize residual cyanide in leached silver/gold ore and to recover some of the silver and gold that the cyanide process does not recover. 

“This is a wonderful opportunity for Itronics to meet top executives from all different types of commercial resource recovery and hazardous waste management service companies.  Itronics has pioneered the development of value-added hazardous waste recycling that converts demetallized liquid photochemical waste into an ingredient used to manufacture the line of high quality GOLD’n GRO liquid fertilizers,” said Dr. Whitney. “Itronics is now pioneering and has achieved operational proof of concept for its second “Zero Waste” technology, the breakthrough e-scrap refining technology which is now being operated at a small pilot plant scale of production.”
