Validating and packaging systems for monitoring and analyzing the quality of variables in support of hydrometallurgical operations (CORFO Validation and Packaging 2015 – 2017)

The estimated copper production for 2017 is 27.5 million tons, 21% of which would correspond to hydrometallurgical production. This project, led by Professor Aldo Cipriano, aims to integrate technological advances that increase the productivity and reduce the energy consumption of hydrometallurgical processes.
