Enabling mineral sector transformation for a cleaner energy future
Based at the University of Newcastle, The ARC Centre of Excellence for Enabling Eco-Efficient Beneficiation of Minerals (COEMinerals) is a national research centre, funded by the Australian Government through the Australian Research Council Centres of Excellence funding scheme and comprising nine Australian universities, including the University of Newcastle.
Minerals are a finite resource, and many are becoming harder to recover against a backdrop of growing demand for minerals and metals to enable cleaner energy solutions as well as modern medical and other technologies and infrastructure.
The Centre’s diverse scientific team is addressing key industry and environmental challenges associated with mineral processing.
The Centre’s science-based, innovative approaches and technology inventions are resulting in higher minerals (metal) recovery with reduced environmental impact during mineral processing, including lower water consumption and less waste.
