In our center we have a deep knowledge and experience in mineral processing. Our specific know-how in mineral processing technology covers areas such as ionic liquids, hydrometallurgy, solvent extraction, characterization and beneficiation, among others. In addition, we keep ourselves constantly updated worldwide through an intense technological watch. This allows us to provide solutions to the industry, designing and advising on the best technology for the specific recovery of critical and strategic raw materials, as well as their use and exploitation in valuable by-products, promoting industrial symbiosis and valorization.
We offer technological implementation solutions through third parties, in collaboration with the ISMC cluster (Sustainable and Circular Mining Cluster). In addition, we provide technical support to attract funds or obtain financing, with the aim of facilitating the investment and implementation of these technologies in the industry.
One of the key issues we face in the mining sector is the use, refining and search for greater effectiveness in the extraction of critical and strategic raw materials. These resources are fundamental for various industries, such as electronics, automotive and energy, among others.
Through our technological solutions, we seek to promote sustainable mining and contribute to the circular economy. We work on the development of processes that enable a more efficient use of natural resources and reduce the environmental impact associated with the extraction and production of raw materials.
Our mineral processing methods and innovative techniques enable us to obtain higher yields in the extraction and refining of these strategic resources. In this way, we contribute to optimizing industrial production and ensuring a more secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials to the market.
In addition, we promote the valorization of products derived from these raw materials, creating synergies with other industries and encouraging the reuse and recycling of materials. In this way, we drive the circular economy and generate opportunities for the creation of new products and markets.
Our goal is to address the issues of the mining sector, promoting sustainable mining, boosting the circular economy and improving industrial production, while reducing the environmental impact associated with these activities.
