Tech in Action session : Patented AZTEC Upflow Reactor (AZ-UFR):  Gold Recovery from Tailings and Re

The AZTEC UpFlow Reactor (AZ-UFR) is a groundbreaking technology in gold processing, introduced by AZTEC Mining, that significantly enhances gold recovery rates, reduces environmental impact, and lowers project execution time.  Key features include: 

  • Advanced Design: Utilizes a counter-current flow system to optimize solid-liquid interactions and ion transfer. 
  • Efficiency: Increased kinetic energy transfer per volume, leading to superior metal recovery and reduced detox reagent use. 
  • Sustainability: Reduces cyanide levels in tailings, helping meet environmental regulations while maintaining profitability.
