Senior scientist at the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO, Belgium), Dr. Xochitl Dominguez Benetton is the inventor of the patented gas-diffusion electrocrystallization (GDEx) process
An electrochemical process that uses gas-diffusion electrodes to achieve the sustainable recovery of critical metals. GDEx meets discharge limits & effectively recovers targeted metals into competitive products that can be integrated within existing processing chains.
She advocates for the construction of a sustainable chemical industry through developing sustainable practices, for which electrochemistry is a key pillar.
