The Center of Researches and Projects at the Mining-Metallurgic Industry (CIPIMM) is currently developing new technologies to expand the Cuban nickel industry.
Dr. Jose Castellanos Suarez told Prensa Latina that the country is implementing three important technologies to improve nickel production.
There are plans to build a plant as a joint company with Sherritt International, Castellanos said in the framework of the Second Earth Sciences Convention “Geociencias 2007.”
Castellanos also stated the island is working on other technology to eliminate sulfhydric acid (H2S), which affects the environment.
“This will boost sustainable development and be positive from the economic point of view,” he noted.
The expert also said the country is developing a technology called CIPIMM 2 to directly prepare limonitic mineral pulp, to increase nickel and cobalt production.
