Non Ferrous Metallurgical Processing

Non-ferrous metallurgical processing

Lithium

Whether you process lithium from brines or mineral ores, lime plays a central role. It stabilizes pH, removes impurities, and enables the key chemical conversion steps required for consistent product quality.

Copper

Lime helps you improve copper recovery in sulfide mineral flotation and enables efficient acidic heap leaching, driving higher yields and more stable plant performance.

Gold

Gold ores vary widely - refractory, oxide, sulfide - and each requires a specific extraction route. Lime helps you optimize recovery, control impurities, and maintain a stable process from ore to doré.

Alumina

In alumina refining, lime plays an essential role at multiple stages. It removes impurities, regenerates process reagents, and produces filtration media that contribute to cleaner, more efficient operations.

Additional applications

From impurity removal to pH control and mineral beneficiation, lime provides reliable support across a wide range of nonferrous extractive processes.

The reliable supply of critical minerals - including gold, copper, alumina and lithium - underpins modern industry and the energy transition. To produce these materials efficiently, you need precise chemical control to ensure high recoveries, consistent purity, and stable, predictable plant performance. We support you across the full spectrum of nonferrous processing with lime-based solutions designed to optimize operations, improve reliability, and enhance metallurgical outcomes.
