内容摘要：

The UQ Hydrometallurgy Research Group is developing a portfolio of high quality fundamental research across a range of hydrometallurgical processes relevant to industry sectors from base metals to Bayer alumina processing. Currently research is focused on a number of key aspects of processing including precipitation from aqueous solutions, ion exchange and membrane separations and leaching of minerals. The hydrometallurgy group is part of a holistic extractive metallurgy program and maintains close interaction with pyrometallurgists and mineral processers, with the aim of improving process routes for metal extraction and product recovery.
