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.

Dealing with low-grade ore

Emerging technologies are improving the characterisation and sorting capabilities of plants, allowing them to divert low-grade ore from downstream processing.

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.

Optimising processes at pilot scale

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

Maximising value from waste materials

Waste accompanies mineral processing and product production.Extracting value from waste products, through recycling, re-processing and re-purposing, enables companies to manage waste production and stockpiling. Our high temperature modelling can help you achieve sustainable approaches to waste management and value recovery.
