Advances in Mineral Processing and Hydrometallurgy Technologies – a Core Resources Perspective

Speaker

Dr Rob Coleman

Abstract

Core Resources is an integrated metallurgical laboratory and process engineering group that develops and commercialises mineral processing and hydrometallurgical technologies and flowsheets in collaboration with partners and OEM’s. Over the past two decades Core has developed technologies such as the Toowong Process^TM for extracting arsenic from copper concentrates and assisted with the commercialisation of the Albion Process for treating complex ores.

This seminar will provide Core’s perspective on current advances in mineral processing and hydrometallurgical technologies. These include the NovaCell for coarse particle flotation, MinDet for mineralogical analysis, Core IPEX novel ion-exchange and the Banksia copper extraction technology. The future direction of process technology will also be discussed.
