Research
The Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) is investigating and developing new technologies for securing the supply of the German economy with strategically important metalliferous raw materials. We are dealing with primary and secondary resources from domestic and international deposits. Our focus is on the whole value-added chain of raw materials with the following main research topics:
Exploration and characterization
Fast and precise technologies for the exploration and characterization of metalliferous raw materials.
More
Resource and energy efficient process technologies
Innovative beneficiation, extraction, and refining processes from lab- to pilot-scale
More
System assessment
Modelling, optimization, and validation of process technologies, systems and value chains.
