Lab-scale & mini-pilot scale equipment

The SOLVOMET centre is well equipped to perform all relevant lab-scale leaching and solvent extraction studies. Concurrently, SOLVOMET is continuously investing in novel mini-pilot scale equipment for solvent leaching and solvent extraction experiments, allowing to tackle a first set of upscaling questions (from the lab-scale to the mini-pilot scale level).
