Optimizing Heap Leaching Operations
VectOres determines and uses the composition of pregnant leach solutions to monitor and optimize the leach extraction process, leading to increased yields.
We optimize leaching environments using advanced chemical technologies that indicate mineralogical phase shifts. The technology provides key timing data that will permit operators to tailor lixiviants that enhance recovery of copper.
Identification of Passivation Layers
We identify kinetic and mineralogical obstacles to leaching strategies so that heap leach design will maximize copper recoveries. Our models provide groundbreaking, cutting-edge insights that will transform traditional heap leach protocols.
Adsorption Processes
Our technology also identifies metal adsorption processes. This chemical Intel provides crucial timing elements that will alert operators to adjust leaching dynamics to avoid lower recovery due to adsorption.
Defining Supply Chain
Our technology can trace metal migration post-production and monitors ethical transaction and flow of metal across the market.
