- Researched by Industrial Info Resources Latin America (Cordoba, Argentina)--Empresa Nacional de Acido
S.A. (ENA) (Santiago, Chile) recently received environmental permits that
will allow the construction of a new sulfuric acid plant. The facility,
which will use Haldor Topsoe technology, will be built in Laguna, in the
Tarapaca state, and will have a production capacity of 250,000 metric tons
per year of sulfuric acid with a concentration level of
98.5%. November 14, 2011 - The Chilean National Acid Company delivered a environmental impact statement (EIS) to the Ministry of Environment for U.S. $30 million project to build a sulfuric acid plant in Region I. The Lagunas plant will produce 250,000 t/y to supply mining operations in regions I and XV, according to the document. The demand for sulfuric acid from mining operations in the north has been a substantial increase, said the mining of private capital. Construction would last for 15 months and will begin immediately after receiving environmental approval. The plant will have a lifespan of 20 years. Sulfuric acid is used in the leaching of copper oxide ores and leachable sulphides to produce cathode copper heap leach facilities and solvent extraction and electrowinning. The Lagunas plant will also generate 10 MW of electricity recovering the energy released in combustion, according to the EIA. |
