Minerals for our future
ARC Centre of Excellence for Enabling Eco-Efficient Beneficiation of Minerals
An opportunity to make a difference
The green economy, digital revolution, improved health and living standards all depend on metals supplied at a minimal environmental cost. However, the declining grade of the more accessible minerals, increasing complexity of mineralogy, and the growing need to extract the minerals from deeper mines, have reached a tipping point, making current practices technologically, economically, and environmentally unsustainable.
The Centre will develop transformational technologies for enabling a competitive and environmentally sustainable future for Australia’s minerals industry through:
- reduced environmental footprint
- significant reductions in energy and water use
- higher resources recovery
- future leaders to support the sector
This Centre will transform the minerals industry, establishing a new generation of research leaders to support the innovation needed in creating a green economy for future generations.
