En Hidronor nos mantenemos a la vanguardia de las últimas innovaciones y los procesos más adecuados en materia de sustentabilidad ambiental que hoy se aplican a distintas industrias, incluyendo la minería. Por esta razón, y con el objetivo de aportar con nuestro avanzado know how en materia de gestión de residuos peligrosos para este rubro en particular, participamos en la 3ra Conferencia SPIM 2022: “Sostenibilidad para la Industria Minera”, organizada por el medio Reporte Sostenible y nuestro auspicio.
The event featured the participation of various relevant speakers, such as Denisse Triviños, Commercial Deputy Manager of Hidronor Chile, who spoke about the proper management of hazardous waste in mining; Dr. Igor Wilkomirsky Fuica, Professor of the Dept. of Metallurgical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Concepción, who talked about green hydrogen as an integral alternative for the treatment of copper concentrates; Dr. Luis Ballesteros, from the Energy and Sustainable Processes Research Group of the Autonomous University of Chile, who addressed the issue of new technologies for the generation of green hydrogen; José Miguel Ansoleaga, from APRIMIN, who spoke about sustainability in mining; and Johan Dreyer, from H2 Antofagasta, who spoke about the green hydrogen industry at the service of mining.
On behalf of Hidronor, Denisse explained to the attendees the details of the most common hazardous waste produced in mining, taking advantage of the opportunity to discuss the proper treatment that should be applied to each of them. In addition, he explained about the permits each site must contemplate, management plans, resolutions, regulations, dangerousness, implications, among other important aspects in terms of waste management that we provide as a company, also highlighting our service of remediation and sanitation of contaminated land with which we can give a second useful life to these spaces.
Para finalizar, la ejecutiva detalló el estatus de los relaves y pasivos ambientales en Chile, su importancia y las oportunidades que se presentan como aporte para incrementar la circular economy en nuestro país.
The day ended with a round of questions to the different speakers, who were able to clarify some of the doubts raised with the aim of explaining in depth the different alternatives and correct processes that are applied to the industry today.
