Hydromet B&PM Research Group carries out R&D projects in the fields of hydrometallurgy, mineral processing, recycling/recovery of metals from scrap materials and treatment of effluents. Relying on its expertise fields, Hydromet B&PM Research Group provides technical consultancy on analysis/optimisation of plant performance and process development for materials including ores/concentrates/wastes. Data obtained from laboratory and large scale tests is evaluated from kinetic and thermodynamic aspects. Our capabilities can be listed as below:

• Performing laboratory tests, kinetic and thermodynamic analysis of the data
• Analysis/optimisation of performance of leach circuits
• Performance analysis and optimisation of adsorption circuits (CIL/CIP/CIC) in cyanide leaching
• Analysis/optimisation of processes for metal recovery and solution purification from pregnant leach solutions (PLS)
• Diagnostic leaching tests for refractory gold/silver ores and development of a suitable process
• Development of flow sheets for various type of materials e.g. ores, concentrates and waste materials
• Analysis of treatment options for cyanide effluents and process optimisation
