Hydrometallurgy consists of dissolving the metals in an ore in a liquid solution, and then separating them out using processes such as leaching, precipitation or filtration. These are the key steps in purifying metals such as copper, uranium, zinc, lithium, bauxite, alumina, nickel, cobalt, chromium, manganese and gold using a liquid process.
For many years, HASLER Group has contributed actively to the priorities of global players in the hydrometallurgy industry, including:
/ OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE: LUMPP industrial mixers ensure homogeneous mixing of rocks and solvents, essential for leaching processes or thickeners. The recovery rate of HASLER filters optimises the products to be recovered by maintaining the highest concentration without dilution.
/ REGULATORY COMPLIANCE: HASLER Filtration equipment is used to process metal residues and reduce the concentration of solid particles, helping to meet environmental standards and regulations on waste.
/ PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: opting for a HASLER Group industrial agitation solution combined with a preventive maintenance service provided by our experts minimises downtime and increases the reliability of installations (e.g. fleet audit, installation of sensors).
/ OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY: the LUMPP industrial agitation equipment used guarantees a homogeneous distribution of reagents and materials, helping to improve operational efficiency. HASLER industrial filters ensure maximum operating time and minimum scheduled downtime for hydrometallurgy processes.
/ SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY: industrial filtration equipment used for decades for hydrometallurgy, such as PHILIPPE belt filters, is essential for accurately separating fine solid particles from liquids, recovering water and minimising metal content in waste.
To meet these challenges alongside players in the global hydrometallurgy industry, our experts design, manufacture, assemble, install, commission and maintain high-performance solutions.
