English term or phrase: pregnant
Hola, qué significa esa palabra en este contexto: "the operation have been more cost-effective if SX had been available to extract copper from the original leach solution, with the pregnant solution then H2 reduced." Esto es de un texto de hidrometalurgia , SX significa extracción por solvente y H2 reduction es un método de recuperación de metales. Chao que les vaya bien.

  -> Teresa, no acabo de comprenderte. "Impregnada" también es un término técnico. Si te refieres a mi comentario sobre la versión original, aún pienso que el inglés está mal. "Pregnant" en inglés quiere decir "embarazada".
