COEMinerals: An ARC Centre of Excellence

@CoeMinerals is unlocking mineral value from waste Find out how we're recovering #graphite from end-of-life #Lithium-ion #batteries in our 2025 Annual Report p15-16 coeminerals.org.au/about/annual-r…🧪 @arc_gov_au @MelbourneOf #recycling #Criticalminerals #mineralrecovery #criticalminerals

Oh, the people you'll meet! It was great to see the @FLSmidth team in Cape Town. Thanks for flying the flag for the #GradePro Classifier: an Australian-invented 🐨#MineralProcessing technology with rigorous scientific research 🧪 supporting its development @arc_gov_au #minerals

Yeah team📣✨🙌 We've been updating experts from 15 countries on multiple new, science-informed ways to improve the 'physical separation' methods used in mineral processing at #PhysicalSeparation26 📷credit for group shot+big thanks to @barrywills @arc_gov_au #mineralprocessing

The @CoeMinerals 2025 Annual Report is available. We invite you to take a look! 👉coeminerals.org.au/about/annual-r… 🧪science achievements, research highlights, industry engagement & strategic milestones that show how we're enabling & driving change in #MineralProcessing🪨 @arc_gov_au

Our @Uni_Newcastle-based Centre of Excellence has a close connection with the @UCT_news in South Africa & its Centre for #Minerals #Research🪨🧪🥼 @CoeMinerals Director has presented how Centre research & invention is improving and simplifying #MineralProcessing @arc_gov_au

🧪Research alert #nickel & #cobalt #CriticalMinerals are important for low carbon technologies A new paper explores Challenges & Opportunities of Extraction of Nickel & Cobalt from Complex Low-Grade Lateritic Ores: mdpi.com/2075-163X/16/3… Congrats authors @arc_gov_au @UQ_News

Research alert Diving into nanobubbles 🫧🫧🫧🫧 New COEMinerals research seeks to quantify the role of nanobubbles in #Flotation mineral separations 👇sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #MineralProcessing @UQ_News @arc_gov_au #nanobubbles

'From separation to dry stacking: Comparative dewatering and handling of clay-rich tailings using solid bowl centrifugation & press filtration' research provides a knowledge base for development of an efficient & #sustainable #tailings management strategy tinyurl.com/3c8fy3nf

Here's a fun one! 🐘 Here is a short animation of the classic 'Elephant Curve' graph that brings to life how science-based innovations are improving mineral particle recovery & lifting the trunk & tail of the elephant tinyurl.com/4f8bjwed Created by @CoeMinerals & Grok (AI)
