Researchers from the Sustainable Minerals Institute's Julius Kruttschnitt Minerals Research Centre (JKMRC) have formed a consortium with industry partners to develop improved energy efficiency for mineral processing operations.
The Collaborative Consortium for Coarse Particle Processing Research (CPR) aims to develop improved energy efficiency for mineral processing operations. It will run initially for five years and tackle multidisciplinary aspects of coarse particle processing such as flotation, comminution, classification, and equipment design and process chemistry.
It will also contribute towards global challenges such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation of human-made climate change.
The processing of coarse particles is considered one of the key research areas for developing improved energy efficiency of mineral processing operations.
The CPR Program is chaired by Professor Rick Valenta, technical directors are Associate Professor Kym Runge and Associate Professor Liza Forbes. The administration team includes Andrea Gray, Sherrie Palmer and Tash Winters
