pH7 Technologies founder and CEO Mohammad Doostmohammadi leads the company’s strategic vision, mission and business operations, and oversees its ongoing R&D activities.

Backed by a Master’s degree in chemical engineering, an MBA from Simon Fraser University’s Beedie School of Business and over 15 years of industrial experience in minerals extraction, processing, and wastewater management, Mohammad launched pH7 Technologies in 2020.

His aim: to innovate sustainable systems designed to help increase the global supply of critical metals in economically and environmentally superior ways. In doing so, pH7 would not only support mining sustainability, but also help facilitate the world’s transition to electrification and clean energy pathways, and conserve water, save energy and reduce emissions.

This was not his first commercial venture. Prior to forming pH7, Mohammad had developed five minerals extraction and wastewater processing plants globally, which he managed from ideation and R&D through to launch and commercialization.

Along the way, he built strong industry relationships based on shared values and goals rooted in a mutual belief that innovative chemical processes can play a vital role in reducing – and in some cases eliminating – industrial environmental footprints.

At pH7 Technologies, Mohammad’s vision is being realized through the company’s novel closed-loop critical minerals extraction processes, which offer an economically and environmentally superior way to extract in-demand minerals including Platinum Group Metals and copper from recycled materials and mine waste.
