Scientific and technological research of systems and processes of extractive metallurgy (base and precious metals) from waste and minerals; through conventional processes or by the development alternative processes with the aim of achieve the sustainability of the mining-metallurgical industry.

Application of electrochemistry and other tools for the study and characterization of: interfacial processes in extractive metallurgy systems, weathering of mineral waste, adsorption processes, synthesis of materials for sensors and electrochemical catalysts.
