Demand for common metals such as copper and zinc is increasing exponentially due to their ubiquitous use in everyday technology. For example, copper production has increased at a compound rate of 3% per annum since 1850. To meet the demand for increasing consumption, mining and extraction companies will have to exploit more marginal mineral deposits in the future. Current extraction technologies for such deposits are limited by cost, performance, legal and environmental considerations: the extraction industry is at a crossroads. This renewal of the Canada Research Chair in Aqueous Processing of Metals will continue the development of ground-breaking water-based technologies for metal extraction.

对铜和锌等普通金属的需求正呈指数级增长，因为它们在日常技术中无处不在。 例如，自1850年以来，铜产量以每年3%的复合增长率增长。 为了满足日益增长的消费需求，采矿和采掘公司今后将不得不开采更多的边际矿床。 目前开采这些矿床的技术受到成本、性能、法律的和环境因素的限制：开采业正处于十字路口。 加拿大金属水处理研究主席的更新将继续开发突破性的金属提取水基技术。
