Pipeline in a mineral processing plant

Slurry optimisation

Our work with Murrin Murrin Operations demonstrates how our drag reduction technology can optimise thickened slurry transport and reduce water consumption in mineral processing plants.

Flocculants and tailings

Understanding, choosing and implementing the right flocculant can improve dewatering capabilities on your tailings treatments and TSF management.

Processing complex slurries

Emerging technology helping with rheological characterisation of complex slurries can improve processing and remove then need for a ‘dilution solution’

A new approach to tailings management

Tailings management has long been a concern in mineral processing operations, and recently has been brought back to our attention after multiple facility failures. In this month’s blog, we look at how switching from a reactive to a proactive approach to tailings management can provide more long term economic, social and safety benefits.

At CSIRO, we solve the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology.
