There is a wide range of processing technologies used in the minerals industry with varying characteristics that determine how and why they are used. This unit provides the underpinning fundamental physical, chemical and transport processes that are important to minerals processing. A key feature of minerals processing is the influence of raw materials and market needs on processes and products. Students will learn the importance of the integrated "mine to metal"approach to process design and optimisation,to gain an understanding of the challenges that dictate the sustainable supply of these materials.
