Funded Activity Summary

Managing Contaminant Metals in Complex Hydrometallurgical Processes; Meeting techno-economic, environmental and operability objectives. Sustainability of the minerals industry is predicated on being able to refine metals from increasingly lower-grade ores. This brings with it the critical problem of managing all contaminant elements present to ensure overall economic and environmental performance. Hydrometallurgical processes are favoured, though difficulties arise in controlling product character to suit downstream processing. This project will develop a fundamental understanding of precipitation processes for optimal recovery of contaminant elements (for a novel zinc process case study), considering the quantitative relationship between all major physico-chemical and engineering features. This will lead to enhanced process designs to meet techno-economic, environmental and operability objectives
