Summary

 

Mineral Processing

  • I have conducted research into the impact of clays on the stability of froth during froth flotation. Future research will investigate further our quantitative method to determine flotation reagent depletion by clay particles.
  • My PhD will research the effective cleaning of pyrite from mine tailings using mineral processing techniques to then use the pyrite as material for anodes in batteries.

Material Flow Analysis

show research

During the summers of 2020-2022, I conducted research as part of a cross disciplinary group across Imperial College London called the Resources Observatory. As part of this I aided in the testing of a new Bayesian methodology for Material Flow Analysis (MFA). Further to this I focused on the use of sand and gravel in society leading to a publication.

During the summer of 2022 I worked within the UKRI Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Mineral-Based Construction Materials collaboratively with the British Geological Society (BGS) and Office for National Statistics (ONS) to model the stocks and flows for construction aggregates in England for 2019 and future scenarios up to 2030. Visualisation of the 2019 results modelled can be found at: https://nris.online/construction-aggregates.html.
