Development of a methodology to relate primary breakage properties to its mineralogical & textural characteristics

13 September 2019 9:00am–10:00am

in JKMRC Friday Seminars 2019

Increasing complexity of ore deposits requires better prediction of comminution properties.

Improving Economic and Environmental Value through Enhanced Process Technologies

6 September 2019 9:00am–10:00am

in JKMRC Friday Seminars 2019

‘Enhanced Process Technologies’ (EPT’s) can provide genuine step change improvements to greenfield and brownfield projects. This presentation discusses EPTs, barriers to adoption and how to navigate those barriers in order to improve economic and environmental outcomes.

The flow of Dry Water: A Gauge Theory of Froth Flotation

30 August 2019 9:00am–10:00am

in JKMRC Friday Seminars 2019

The seminar will provide a guided tour through a completely novel theory that can be used to generate a closed analytical solution to the physics of froth flotation, in a manner that is completely fundamental, yet robust and simple to use.

Powers of Ten - Shifting scales of space and time for new perspectives in landscape change

23 August 2019 9:00am–10:00am

in JKMRC Friday Seminars 2019

This talk will begin with two keys premises: that landscape change is an intrinsic part of mining and industrial development; and that novel ways of understanding landscapes can open up new possibilities for their future.

UQ Minerals Week brings international academics to Brisbane

Published on: 13 August 2019

Researchers from around the world met in Brisbane to discuss sustainable solutions for the mining industry’s biggest challenges as part of UQ Minerals Week.
Academic leaders from The University of Capetown (UCT), The University of British Columbia (UBC) and The University of Exeter’s Camborne School of Mines joined colleagues from the Sustainable Minerals Institute at UQ’s St Lucia campus.

UQ collaborates on global effort to reduce the risks of tailings

Published on: 12 August 2019

The collapse of the tailings dam at the Corrego de Feijão iron ore mine near Brumadinho in Brazil in January 2019 highlighted again the very serious risks associated with managing mining waste.

Drones, AI and the cloud - the new possible

16 August 2019 9:00am–10:00am

in JKMRC Friday Seminars 2019

This presentation focuses on research developments at Monash University where drones have been combined with high performance compute and computer vision techniques, in order to remotely sense or sample our planet.

New mining resettlement dataset sets the standard

Published on: 12 August 2019

University of Queensland researchers have published the first ever global dataset of mining induced displacement and resettlement, giving mining companies an evidence base to develop best practice.

The Language of Safety

9 August 2019 9:00am–10:00am

in JKMRC Friday Seminars 2019

When considering safety, especially in operating mines, the reporting of incidents and the language used to describe them really matters. Natural Language Processing can now be used to classify and detect new classifications of incidents and detect previously unseen combinations of hazards and behaviours, allowing for the development of meaningful and targeted safety intervention programs.

Energy Curve Enhancement Blog 9 - Incorporating mineral liberation into the Energy Curves

The minerals industry invests a great deal of energy in comminution, both in terms of capital costs and operating costs. A number of people have published estimates of how much of the energy is consumed in comminution, including Ballantyne and his co-workers (2012) who estimated that in 2008-2009 1.3% of Australia’s energy was consumed in comminution circuits in gold and copper operations
