The future of the battery supply chain

The 2020 AusIMM Li & Battery Conference provided new and interesting insights into the future battery metals market. Emerging themes focus on adopting sustainable processing practices, diversifying the supply chain, and process-intensive market opportunities to introduce manufacturing capabilities to capture more downstream value-adding processes.

Greener and safer leaching options

Non-hazardous leaching alternatives are slowly being explored and implemented across new & existing mining operations, creating sustainable practices to improve output and decrease risk. We share some golden examples.

Insights from 2019 World Gold Conference

To remain sustainable into the future, the Australian gold mining industry needs to engage innovators to help them address and resolve key environmental, social and governance issues.

Reducing the carbon intensity of metals production

Metal production relies strongly on carbon, and therefore reducing your carbon intensity is not simple. With growing pressure on operations to cut CO2 emissions our latest blog discusses different process changes that could reduce your carbon intensity.

Metallurgical testwork

Falling ore grade and increasing ore complexity are making metallurgical testwork more challenging. We can help you overcome insufficient testing.

Optimising processes at pilot scale

Pilot scale facilities present a more accurate representation of process optimisation than other scale and modelling methods alone.

Insights from Graphite+Anodes and Cathodes 2018

The ever-growing battery market has resulted in an increased demand for battery materials, providing the mineral processing industry a unique opportunity to increase production. Here are some key insights to consider before attempting to enter the battery market.

Optimising electrowinning operations

Increased production is necessary to meet demands for base metals. Optimising electrowinning operations is one way to improve production and decrease risk to business.

Heat transfer modelling

As high-quality ores are depleted, more metal smelters are having to smelt less desirable materials. Find out how you can optimise your smelting operations when using complex ores with CSIRO’s Heat Transfer Modelling.
