Why data quality is the real AI challenge in the mining industry
Perspectivas
-
Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in the mining industry. Predictive maintenance for critical equipment, energy optimization, improved metallurgical recovery, asset monitoring and process anomaly detection are just a few of the many applications with significant potential benefits.However, when an AI project fails to deliver the expected results, the problem rarely lies with the algorithms themselves.In our experience, the main obstacles are usually related to data quality, availability and structure. Even the most sophisticated models cannot produce reliable recommendations if the data they rely on is incomplete, inconsistent or difficult to use.Before we talk about artificial intelligence, we first need to talk about data.

04 mar 2025Minería y metalurgiaAcid mine drainage (AMD) is a persistent environmental challenge. It occurs when sulfide minerals, exposed to air and water during mining, break down and produce acidic, metal-laden water. This contaminated water harms ecosystems, pollutes water sources and in general creates challenges for mining operations. Traditional treatment methods (active treatment technologies) can address AMD but are often costly and energy-intensive. On the other hand, passive treatment systems rely on natural biological, chemical and physical processes to treat AMD. These systems provide a more environmentally sustainable and efficient solution under the right conditions. This article explores passive treatment systems, including their types and longevity, highlighting their potential as a long-term environmental remediation approach.Passive treatment of acid mine drainage water: a sustainable solution

13 sept 2024Energía y químicosEl compromiso de lograr cero emisiones netas de gases de efecto invernadero está impulsando la búsqueda de tecnologías energéticas más limpias y comercialmente viables. Como resultado, la demanda mundial de hidrógeno, conocido como un portador de energía versátil, está creciendo de manera constante en todo el mundo a la vez que enfrenta grandes obstáculos en cada paso de la cadena de suministro. Un cambio hacia una producción de hidrógeno con emisiones negativas de carbono requiere una transformación a todo nivel, un desafío para todos los involucrados.El papel del hidrógeno hacia un futuro más verde
