The Mining Engineering Section comprises 4 areas of work, whose professors are dedicated to the training of professionals and research in:
This area is responsible for training in the geological fundamentals of earth evolution, deposits and minerals of economic interest. Research focuses on mineralogical, petrographic, geochemical, geophysical, sedimentological and other analyses. This area is also the starting point of the Geological Engineering degree, recently created in the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FCI) of the PUCP.
This area is responsible for training mining professionals with solid knowledge of metallurgical processes, mineral concentration and mining processes. It also develops research activities and provides services through its laboratories.
This area develops theoretical and practical training activities in mining management, mine design, rock mechanics, mining equipment selection, planning, among others. At the scientific research level, it is oriented to the analysis and optimization of processes, simulation and new technologies.
This area is responsible for academic training in the field of mining operations and its environment, the identification of the potential impacts of mining and the prevention of negative environmental impacts. Its research is oriented to the study of adsorbent materials for the treatment of mining-metallurgical liquid effluents and biometallurgical tests.
