Support efficient and responsible mineral processing through the development and implementation of tools and technologies. 
Research project developed for BHP, consisting of a proof of concept of tailings transformation integrating the Recomine (HIF) and STT (SMI-ICE-Chile) projects, which includes a first stage of desulfurization of the tailings and production of schwerttmanite (Recomine ), and a…
This project is being developed with MCI Corporation, to support the transition towards more sustainable water supply systems based on integration and optimization.
This project was carried out by the JKTech team and its main objective was to update the comminution and classification model of a copper operation in Chile, previously developed in the JKSimMet software, according to the current operating conditions of…
The project, carried out by the APPCo team from the Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Center (JKMRC), consisted of the remote installation of the Mill Filling Inference Tool (Mill FIT) virtual sensor. This made it possible to reduce the downtime and…
The aim of this project is to assess the impact of current source water quality on flotation circuit performance, to establish current water quality ranges that will support development of synthetic process water composition. It also seeks to Identify the…
This project, carried out by the JKTech team, consisted of using the JK Value Based Ore Control (JKVBOC) and Hybrid Stress Blasting Model (HSBM) software to predict the movement and dilution of the mineral during the blasting process, thus improving…
The objective of this study was to support an iron ore processing plant in the identification of operational, instrumentation and advanced process control alternatives that would allow the operation to improve its energy efficiency in the grinding and thermal hardening…
This project aims to maximize the use of capital installed in the plant through better operational control to reduce variability.
The objective of this mineralogical and metallurgical characterization study is to increase the utilization of a processing plant through the recovery of tailings and the identification of possible ways to recover elements of value, specifically cobalt.
The objective of this project was to obtain a robust geological-geometallurgical model, capable of adequately supporting decision-making regarding mining planning and operation, together with plant design and operation.Â
The objective of this project was to improve copper recovery in the heap leaching process. This was done through the study and understanding of the mechanisms that govern the process, with a focus on gangue leachability and the impacts on…
The objective of this project was to characterize and study the potential of a small-scale IOCG deposit to recover elements of value from the conventional copper recovery process. The project also contemplated the identification and design of alternative processes that…
