Real-Time Sensing in Mineral Processing Applications
Speaker: Dr David Miljak
Abstract: Recent CSIRO developments in real-time sensing technologies provides the opportunity for improving the efficiency of mineral processing. Examples include sensor based preconcentration and flotation control, applicable across a range of different mineral commodities. This seminar will explore this theme in greater detail.
Bio: Since joining CSIRO in 1999, Dr David Miljak has led the development of radio frequency measurement systems for mineral applications. He pioneered the use of so called 'zero-field' magnetic resonances for mineral sensing in mining applications, leading research teams towards the development of large scale, rapid and quantitative bulk mineral measurement systems. Applications include the on-conveyor measurement of primary ore streams, enabling sensor-based sorting for step-change improvement in mining productivity and sustainability. He has also been heavily involved in the commercialisation of several technologies.
About JKMRC Friday Seminars 2025
Welcome to the 2025 Series of the JKMRC Friday Seminars. The list of presentations will aim to cover a range of topics related to the minerals sector from decision making in exploration, new mineral processing technologies, social licence to operate and mine closure.
The JKMRC Friday Seminars will be presented often in person, at the Indooroopilly Mine Site Lecture Theatre, and also as a webinar. Registration for the webinar is required and can be made via the registration link in each seminar overview.
A large number of past webinars can be accessed on the SMI website: https://smi.uq.edu.au/webinars
