Process modelling is an integral part of process control and optimization. The latter is increasingly becoming a concern in the metals industry as improvements in energy efficiency and environmental impact are sought. The Canadian based company Aurel systems is currently interested in expanding its expertise within the mining and metals industry through the development of simulators aimed at hydrometallurgical processing facilities, in particular leaching, purification and cementation. This research project proposes new modelling approaches which will aim to leverage the benefits of the developed CADSIM Plus software and the expertise of UBC faculty to generate industrially relevant models which will be directly applicable to the end users. Three Canadian based companies, Teck Metals, HudBay Minerals, and Xstrata Zinc, are also sponsoring and actively involved in the project.

过程建模是过程控制和优化的一个组成部分。随着寻求提高能源效率和环境影响，后者日益成为金属行业的关注点。加拿大公司 Aurel Systems 目前有兴趣通过开发针对湿法冶金加工设施（特别是浸出、净化和胶结）的模拟器来扩展其在采矿和金属行业的专业知识。该研究项目提出了新的建模方法，旨在利用已开发的 CADSIM Plus 软件的优势和 UBC 教师的专业知识来生成可直接适用于最终用户的工业相关模型。三个加拿大公司 Teck Metals、HudBay Minerals 和 Xstrata Zinc 也赞助并积极参与该项目。
