Hydrometallurgy & Pyrometallurgy

Industrial gases play a key role in the metallurgical processes that involve the use of aqueous or high-temperature applications for the recovery of metals from ores, concentrates, and recycled or residual materials. Copper, zinc, gold, silver and other non-ferrous metals can be extracted through such processes.
