Sustainable Resources

Towards a cleaner, more sustainable resources sector

The Future Industries Institute delivers outcome-driven research to a resources sector challenged by decreasing deposit quality and reduced deposit discovery and seeking to deliver the raw materials required for the global transition to a low-carbon economy. Working with industry and the professions, we strive to improve rates of discovery, optimise process performance, reduce energy and water usage and assist in the assessment and introduction of technological innovations across the resources value chain.

Research areas include:

Minerals Processing
Froth flotation and hydrometallurgy
Mineral surface and interfacial chemistry
Geometallurgy
Mineralogy and Petrology
Exploration geoscience and technology
Drilling engineering

Research capabilities include:

Mini pilot scale process assessment
Surface analytical characterisation
Microtomography
Sensor research and micro-fabrication of devices
Development of in-field analytical techniques
Materials science
Petrology
Isotope geochemistry and geochronology
