Funded Activity Summary

Inorganic membrane percrystallisation in hydrometallurgy. This project aims is to develop the scientific and engineering basis for a new Australian inorganic membrane technology for the crystallisation of metal compounds. Inorganic membrane percrystallisation is a recent breakthrough promising improved productivity, energy savings and the ability to tailor particle properties. This project will develop a mechanistic model encompassing solution transport phenomena, crystal nucleation-growth-agglomeration and engineering process parameters affecting single and binary salt systems. This model will provide a basis for technology development benefiting Australia, such as the improvement of the production of nickel sulphate for the growing battery materials market.
