Processes are provided in which successive steps of hydrometallurgical value extraction may be carried out using the products of carbon capture and an electrolytic reagent-generating process. The electrolytic process provides an acid leachant and an alkali hydroxide, with the alkali hydroxide then available for use either directly as a precipitant in the hydrometallurgical steps, or available for conversion by carbon capture to an alkali metal carbonate that can in turn be used as the precipitant in the selective hydrometallurgical steps.

The present invention is related to effect pigments exhibiting a deep black body color as well as a blue interference color, to a process for the production of such pigments as well as to the use thereof, especially in coating compositions.

Disclosed herein are acid-base leaching methods and systems. Specifically, the systems and methods can include supplying an iron and/or aluminum feed material and an acid to a first reaction chamber; supplying a first leachate comprising iron and/or aluminum salts or cations from the first reaction chamber and a calcium feed material to a second reaction chamber to form a solid comprising iron and/or aluminum; supplying a second leachate from the second reaction chamber comprising alkaline earth metal salts or cations and a base to a third reaction chamber to form a precipitated alkaline earth metal product.
