Metallurgical Laboratory Services

The metallurgical laboratories offer comprehensive research, development, and demonstration services tailored to meet the specific needs of various commodities and mineral processing technologies. Our services are designed to support the mining industry by providing customized testing and design solutions that optimize processes across a wide range of metals and minerals.

We specialize in a diverse array of commodities, ensuring that our services are adaptable and relevant to the unique requirements of each material. Our expertise includes, but is not limited Copper, Cobalt, Gold, Nickel, Zinc, Lead, Vanadium and many more.

Our Capabilities and Services offered

Continuous mini-plant solvent extraction services, enabling efficient and scalable separation of valuable components from bulk materials, ensuring high-quality, reproducible results for your extraction processes.
Acid leaching services using 60-liter vessels with air agitation, ensuring thorough and efficient extraction of valuable minerals from bulk materials for accurate and reliable analysis.
Our services include professional laboratory crushing services using advanced crushers to efficiently reduce bulk materials to smaller, uniform particle sizes, ensuring consistency and accuracy for your analytical need.
Splitting services using a rotary riffle splitter, ensuring precise and uniform division of bulk materials into smaller, representative portions, minimizing sampling bias for accurate analysis.
Bottle roller testing services are  designed to simulate the agitation and mixing of materials, such as ores or minerals, for processes like leaching, dissolution, and flotation. Using a series of rollers that rotate bottles or jars containing your sample and solvent, our bottle rollers ensure thorough mixing over a set period, providing accurate and reliable test results for your metallurgical needs.
Splitting services using a riffle splitter, delivering precise and consistent division of bulk materials into smaller, representative samples, ensuring accurate and unbiased analysis

Commodities Expertise

Our laboratories are equipped to handle a variety of mineral processing technologies, ensuring that we can provide comprehensive solutions from start to finish. These include:

Physical Processes:

  • Crushing: Reducing the size of raw ore to make it manageable for further processing.
  • Grinding: Achieving finer particle sizes to increase the surface area for subsequent processes.
  • Flotation: Separating valuable minerals from waste rock based on their differing surface properties.
  • Classification: Sorting particles based on size and density for better process efficiency.

Hydrometallurgical Processes:

  • Leaching: Extracting metals from ores using chemical solutions.
  • Precipitation: Recovering dissolved metals from a solution by converting them into a solid form.
  • Solid-Liquid Separation: Separating solid particles from liquid in slurry mixtures.
  • Solvent Extraction: Using organic solvents to separate specific metals from solutions.
  • Ion Exchange: Removing or recovering metals from solutions through the exchange of ions between the solution and a resin.
  • Electrowinning: Recovering metals from solutions by passing an electric current through them.

Customization and Industry Application

We understand that each mining operation is unique, which is why we customize our testing and design processes to fit the specific needs of our clients. Our solutions are tailored to enhance efficiency, improve recovery rates, and reduce costs in the processing of various commodities.
