Frequently Asked Questions

MINCHEM^™ is used for modeling copper solvent extraction (SX) circuits, optimizing existing circuits and evaluating future conditions.

MINCHEM+™ extends Syensqo’s modeling capabilities beyond copper - to cobalt, nickel, zinc, rare earths and other metals - providing comprehensive modeling for new plant designs. Mines that implement MINCHEM+™ designs have found success using CYANEX^® and DEHPA^® SX reagents. 

MINCHEM™ and MINCHEM+™ minimize the time required to deliver an optimal plant design, reduce CAPEX/OPEX and improve overall profitability.
 

MINCHEM™ and MINCHEM+™ automate computations, delivering results in seconds or minutes. 

User inputs vary but generally include reagent type, metal compositions, pH levels, circuit configuration and recovery targets.

Yes, MINCHEM™ is the modeling engine behind SolvExtract^® that enables continuous monitoring and optimization of SX operations.
