A landmark project is digitising almost a century of Queensland’s seismic records to help scientists and emergency services better understand the state’s earthquake risk.
A small-scale fluidised bed flotation device with the potential to predict industrial-scale performance is entering the final stages of testing with the delivery of 7 prototypes to industry.
A new collaborative research program will formally integrate geoscientific and metallurgical expertise from across the Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI) to maximise operational performance across the mining value chain.
‘High voltage’ mineral processing technology with the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption and help the mining industry decarbonise is one step closer thanks to funding from the Resources Technology and Critical Minerals Trailblazer.
Queensland's emerging critical minerals industry has received a boost with the conceptual launch of a state-of-the-art processing plant designed by researchers from the Sustainable Minerals Institute.
International interest in JKMRC soft sensors is rising as operators seek options for improving process insight and control without the technological risk.
Gideon Chitombo first walked through the doors of the Julius Kruttscnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC) in 1982. Little did he know it was the start of a relationship which would last over four decades and culminate in his appointment as Professor and Chair of Minerals Industry Engagement at The University of Queensland in 2009 – the world’s first professorial position of engagement.
A new type of sinter developed by University of Queensland researchers could accelerate the iron and steelmaking industry’s efforts to reduce its carbon emissions by requiring over 20% less coking coal to produce.
