Expertise
Our expertise at the service of mining innovation
We combine scientific expertise, technological innovation, commitment to sustainability, and advanced infrastructure to support mining companies in optimizing their processes. With our specialized laboratories and world-class equipment, we turn your ideas into concrete, sustainable, and efficient solutions.
Comminution
Corem has the expertise and a wide range of equipment to perform the full spectrum of tests required for the design and optimization of grinding circuits. Modern equipment such as HPGR and IsaMill are among the options available at our facilities.
FLOTATION
Corem’s pilot plant is equipped with a wide range of equipment: mechanical cells, flotation columns, and all the equipment necessary for the proper functioning of a flotation circuit capable of processing up to several hundred kilograms per hour. In addition, over several years of research, Corem has developed a range of hydrodynamic tools that enable the auditing and optimization of flotation circuits in plants.
Agglomeration and thermal processes
Corem draws on internationally recognized expertise in optimizing the composition of iron ore pellets and their firing cycle. Physical firing simulators (pot-grate and grate-kiln cooler) are used to optimize firing conditions for both the moving-grate and rotary-kiln processes.
Physical separation
Thanks to its equipment, Corem can take gravimetric separation further to produce preconcentrates or process finer ores with small differences in density.
Extractive metallurgy / hydrometallurgy
Corem has a comprehensive extractive metallurgy and hydrometallurgy sector capable of handling all mineral acids and bases at high temperature or high pressure on a laboratory and semi-industrial scale.
MINERALOGY
Corem uses state-of-the-art equipment and applies proven procedures to ensure the preparation of representative subsamples from samples originating from the laboratory, the pilot plant, or directly from the deposit. Samples from all sources (crushing, grinding, screening, shaking table separation, dense media separation, magnetic separation, etc.) can be studied as is or mounted into high-quality thin polished sections/slides.
Mineralurgy Analytics and Technology
MAT drives innovation at the crossroads of mineral processing and advanced digital technologies. Our team develops and integrates cutting-edge solutions in machine vision, sensor design, data science, and automation to tackle real challenges in mining operations.
