Funded Activity Summary

Improving Aqueous Processing and Control of Copper-Uranium Leach Tails Behaviour. The research will provide essential training and equip us with better understanding, appropriate scientific knowledge and diagnostic tools for establishing an effective U and Cu mineral leaching and subsequent treatment processes. Specifically, improved valuable mineral dissolution rate, greater pulp handleability, efficient particles washing and pulp dewatering technology for treating U-Cu metal containing pulps, significant increase in productivity and production with reductions in reagents and human risk, will emerge. These beneficial outcomes will increase profitability and competitiveness of BHP-Billiton and Australian mineral export.
