Hydrometallurgy is concerned with the principles and practice of the aqueous extraction of metals from natural or recycled resources and their subsequent recovery into useable products by means of environmentally sound and cost effective processes.
Hydrometallurgy is a strong and growing field of technology with many exciting projects and processes either operating or in development. Canada is richly endowed with mineral resources and is a world leader in hydrometallurgical production plants, technology development and education.
The Hydrometallurgy Section focuses on advancing plant practices and promoting education in the field of hydrometallurgy in Canada and abroad. The Section does this by:
The Section operates through a committee comprised of representatives from major Canadian production companies, academic and research institutions, and engineering companies, that have a strong focus on the field of hydrometallurgy.
