Infrastructure
From laboratory to pilot scale
Whether raw material exploration and characterization, process technologies or system analysis. The HIF Campus offers researchers and partners a unique range of state-of-the-art equipment, laboratories and pilot plants to jointly develop innovative raw material technologies. Scientific excellence as well as transdisciplinarity, sustainability and openness play a key role not only in research, but also in constant development of our campus.
Analytical laboratories
In our modern characterization laboratories, we determine minerals and metals in primary and secondary raw materials. Due to the complex nature of the different raw materials, we continuously further develop our characterization techniques.
