PhD and MSc students are sought to take part in a newly formed research program at the Sustainable Minerals Institute, University of Queensland. The Collaborative Consortium for Coarse Particle Processing Research (CPR) is sponsored by a large group of international mining companies, all interested in developing practical and applied solutions to coarse particle processing.
The processing of coarse particles is considered one of the key research areas for developing improved energy efficiency of mineral processing operations. This research program not only addresses pressing industry needs, but also contributes towards larger challenges such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation of man-made climate change.
The program will tackle multidisciplinary aspects of coarse particle processing such as flotation, comminution, classification, and equipment design and process chemistry. The representatives of the sponsor companies see higher degree graduates from this program as an important source of skilled future employees.
It is estimated that the projects will commence early in 2021, subject to the easing of travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A working knowledge of mineral flotation, comminution and classification would be beneficial.
