Mineral Processing is the area of study focused on the processes of separation and extraction of valuable minerals and subsequent concentration. Within mineral processing, comminution, mineral concentration, solid-liquid separation and related operations such as pulp transportation are distinguished.

The group is dedicated to investigate the efficiency and performance of current extraction and concentration techniques, as well as the potential development of new technologies.
