The Sustainable Minerals Institute’s Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC) has added to its research capability with the announcement of a High Temperature Processing Research group.
Brett Garland, Director of SMI's Minerals Industry Safety and Health Centre introduces the new professional development course 'Incident Investigation and Analysis', which was recently trialled with a group of leading experts and stakeholders from industry and government.
The Risk and Critical Control Management (RCCM) course which has been delivered face to face by UQ’s Minerals Industry Safety and Health Centre for a number of years now has an online option and will be available from 6 July 2020.
Mineral processing experts from the Sustainable Minerals Institute’s (SMI) Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC) have embraced 21st Century technology to maintain site engagement and delivery of research outcomes to mineral processing plants amid COVID-19 restrictions.

University of Queensland research into the eco-engineering of mine waste to a useful soil has received over $1.2 million in government and industry funding.
The project 'Breaking critical barriers in soil formation of bauxite residues', has received $777,000 from the Australian Research Council’s Linkage Program, and industry partners Rio Tinto Aluminium’s Yarwun refinery and Queensland Alumina Limited (QAL) have contributed an additional $520,000.
In 2017 Dr Kate Tungpalan was selected as the Minerals Engineering Journal Editor’s “Rising Star” and it isn’t difficult to understand why. We sat down with Kate, who is now a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the BRC, to talk through the details of her dynamic career.
The University of Queensland’s Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC) and UQ Holding’s technology transfer company JKTech, are integrating their activities under one management structure.
Improved efficiency and productivity in hydrocyclone separation is the focus of a new research project led by researchers from the Sustainable Minerals Institute’s Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre.
In previous publications, we have described how the size specific energy (SSE) can be calculated to predict the energy required to generate new minus 75 µm material. However, if we want to benchmark the performance of fine grinding where the product can be much finer than 75 µm, clearly we require a finer marker size. If we do this, we also need a way to compare results that use different marker sizes.
