Funded Activity Summary

Molecular phenomena and engineering of saline water-air interfaces. Saline water use in Australia's mining, agricultural, and drinking water industries is increasing. Many of the production processes of these industries are underpinned by many complex molecular phenomena and interactions at the saline water - air interfaces which we want to understand, optimise and design. The findings will have direct benefits in the field of flotation used to recover valuable minerals using hyper-saline bore water and to produce drinking water from seawater by desalination. This project is important because it will lead to sustainable ways of producing water and using water in industry. Its success will ensure that our industries remain at the forefront of innovation and are globally competitive.
