Gases and Application Technologies for Metal Extraction

Enhancing Process Efficiency in Pyrometallurgical and Hydrometallurgical Operations

Mining Plant
Offering Substantial Benefits for Optimized Metal Extraction 

Linde offers an extensive range of gases and technologies for hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes, often used in mining and metal extraction. 

Pyrometallurgy is a process that involves using high temperatures to extract metal ores, waste minerals, or concentrates. Hydrometallurgy also extracts metals from ores and other materials by using chemical and water-based reactions. The benefits of using the right gases and technologies include productivity and quality gains, as well as improved environmental performance through lower emissions and energy consumption.
