Mortars for Acid Resistant Brick Linings in Hydrometallurgical Applications 

What To Know About Achieving Reliable Lining Systems 

The application of hydrometallurgy in the recovery of nickel, copper, gold and other metals continues to grow. The acidic nature and higher temperatures of some of these processes limit the use of alloys, fiberglass or other construction materials for the vessels. Acid brick linings have been proven to provide economical and reliable service in:  

But achieving reliable lining systems requires careful attention to the mortar materials and equipment being used. Read about the challenges specific to hydrometallurgy mortars, including curing, mixing and testing. In addition, you’ll get specifics on the type of mortars best suited for hydrometallurgy and the considerations for various applications.
