Westwin Elements is a supplier of nickel and cobalt that is essential to key applications, including superalloys in jet engines, lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, and cemented carbides in industrial machinery.Westwin Elements Inc. will be America's leading supplier of ethically sourced and sustainably produced high quality nickeland cobalt. Westwin will employ a solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX-EW) technology for cobalt and a carbonyl refining method for nickel.At Lawton, Oklahoma, Westwin Elements will run a sizable refinery for key metals. When impure nickel feedstock is used in nickel carbonyl refining, carbon monoxide reacts with it to change the solid nickel into nickel carbonyl gas, which is subsequently broken down into nickel carbonyl powder. By concentrating materials in a solution for solvent extraction, Cobalt SX-EW creates high-purity cobalt rounds by electrowinning the desired components.
