Resources: Forging a path to lasting sustainability
KEY TOPICS
Critical minerals, geotechnical solutions, geospatial engineering, materials handling, particle beneficiation, and circular economy.
ARC Centre of Excellence for Enabling Eco-Efficient Beneficiation of Minerals
COEMinerals is making mineral recovery more efficient, more effective and as a result much more sustainable.
Centre for Advanced Particle Processing and Transport
Concerned with the science and engineering of particulate systems relevant to industries of national significance, such as in the mineral resources area. We seek to develop faster and more efficient separation technologies, and technologies for the manufacture, storage, and transport of particles.
Centre for Geotechnical Science and Engineering
Develops new models and innovative computational methods for predicting the behaviour of geomaterials, metals and composites. Advanced computational methods, coupled with laboratory and field testing are key tools in this pursuit.
Centre for Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies (CBSPT)
Actively involved in both fundamental and applied research on a range of problems associated with bulk solids and particulate technology. Research areas include storage, flow, processing and transportation of bulk solids. CBSPT also provides specialist courses for industry through its professional development programs.
Environmental Plastic and Innovation Cluster (EPIC)
EPIC conducts cutting-edge research on the risk assessment of legacy plastics and plastic-alternate products. Our vision is to ensure that plastic-alternative materials are environmentally sustainable and safe, leading to better planetary health.
