Molycop recently delivered a specialised pulp chemistry training session at Peñoles CIDT in Mexico, reinforcing a shared commitment to knowledge transfer, technical capability building and improved flotation performance across operations.
Key facts
- Molycop delivered a technical training session on Pulp Chemistry in Mineral Flotation at Peñoles Industries’ CIDT in Mexico.
- The session brought together operational, technical and research professionals, with additional participation from Minera Capela via remote access.
- The training was led by Rocío Santos, R&D Process Support Engineer at Molycop, focusing on the practical application of pulp chemistry to improve flotation performance.
Building capability through collaboration
At Molycop, supporting our customers extends beyond products and services. It is grounded in building capability, sharing expertise, and working alongside our partners to solve real operational challenges.As part of this commitment, our team in Mexico recently delivered a technical training session titled “Pulp Chemistry in Mineral Flotation” at the CIDT (Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico) of Peñoles Industries.
Bringing diverse perspectives together
The session brought together a diverse group of participants, including sub-directorate personnel, managers, specialists, and researchers. This cross-functional representation enabled valuable discussion across operational, technical, and research perspectives—reflecting the complexity of flotation performance in modern mineral processing circuits.To further extend the reach of the session, professionals from Minera Capela joined remotely, strengthening the exchange of ideas and ensuring broader technical alignment across operations.
Connecting pulp chemistry to flotation performance
The training was led by Rocío Santos, R&D Process Support Engineer at Molycop, who guided participants through the critical role of pulp chemistry in flotation. The session explored how variables such as reagent interactions, electrochemical conditions, and pulp environment directly influence recovery, selectivity, and overall plant performance.By connecting theory with operational context, the training provided practical insights that participants can apply directly within their circuits—supporting more informed decision-making and improved process stability.
Strengthening long-term partnerships through knowledge sharing
This initiative forms part of the ongoing collaboration between Molycop and Peñoles Industries (Minas Peñoles and Fresnillo plc). Together, we continue to invest in knowledge-sharing initiatives that strengthen technical capability and drive operational outcomes.At Molycop, we believe that the exchange of technical knowledge is fundamental to maximising results. Through targeted training, practical engagement, and collaboration with our customers, we are helping build the expertise required to optimise performance across the mining value chain.
