Mineral Processing and Residues Recycling Laboratory

ProMineral Lab

The Mineral Processing and Residues Recycling Laboratory, ProMineral Lab, is located at the Manresa School of Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. The laboratory members work in teaching and research in the areas of characterization and processing of minerals and solid residues. The staff also has a significant presence in the training of undergraduate, master's and doctoral students. Another significant presence is the interaction with the mineral and recycling industries, where research and development projects are carried out intensively.

Mission

Cooperate with society to improve competent professional training, research, and innovation. Generate, adapt, and transfer knowledge related to Mineral Processing and Residue Recycling, with socio-environmental responsibility.

Vision

Our vision is to be highly respected and recognized as a leader in higher education and research in Mineral Processing and Residue Recycling in Europe and the World.
