Waste Characterisation with core scanning technologies
With an explosion of new tools and technologies for ore characterisation, there has never been a better time to update methods for mine waste characterisation. A modern geoenvironmental toolkit includes application of hyperspectral technologies to derive geoenvironmental domaining and automated acid rock drainage index values, improved used of handheld tools and chemical tests, data mining, and finding new applications for drill core scanning technology. This seminar introduces these and focusses on demonstrating applications of hyperspectral datasets as the metalliferous mining industry trend is currently towards collecting these data during early life-of-mine stages.
As we approach the next decade, the industry has the unique opportunity to adopt the environmental geometallurgy matrix and embed the use of the geoenvironmental toolbox into their operations to improve risk management.
Dr Anita Parbhakar-Fox is a Senior Research Fellow in Geometallurgy and Applied Geochemistry at the W.H Bryan Mining and Geology Research Centre within the Sustainable Minerals Institute.
More information on upcoming GSQ and UQ webinars will be provided in the near future.
