Webinar: An introduction to hydrometallurgy for non-Hydrometallurgists

Join the Metallurgical Society for their upcoming webinar: An introduction to hydrometallurgy for non-Hydrometallurgists.

About this event

Hydrometallurgy, along with mineral processing and pyrometallurgy, is used to extract and refine metals and inorganic compounds. Hydrometallurgy uses aqueous solutions to extract metals from ores, concentrates, and secondary sources. In hydrometallurgy, various techniques such as leaching, precipitation, solvent extraction, and electrowinning are employed to separate and recover metals from their ores.

The choice of hydrometallurgy and/or pyrometallurgy is dictated entirely by process chemistry. This webinar will review the unit operations and processes occurring in hydrometallurgical flowsheets.

Webinar time: 11.00am - 12.00pm AEST.
