(News Bulletin 247) – Solvay announces that it has completed the extension of its production capacity at its site in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee, in the United States to meet the growing demand for copper in the fields of electromobility and clean energy.
The Mount Pleasant plant manufactures solvent extraction reagents for mines producing copper by hydrometallurgical processes. Even if oxide ore reserves are depleted, the market for copper solvent extraction reagents is expected to remain strong, supported by new leaching technologies capable of processing sulphide ores.
The 20% increase in capacity of the Acorga product line reaffirms Solvay’s commitment to the mining industry and its efforts to meet the growing demand from mining operations for its solvent extraction products.
“We plan to add additional capabilities in the future to remain a reliable long-term partner and help our mining customers maximize metallurgical results and overall operational value,” says Matthew Davis, Global Business Director, Mineral Processing and Metal Extraction Products.
