The University of South Australia has formed a collaborative research funding partnership with Centrex Metals in a bid to use the cutting-edge technology to significantly reduce energy and water usage, and therefore the cost of mineral processing using molten salts.
The research, based around the Oxley potassium project, in Western Australia, and undertaken by UniSA’s School of Engineering and Future Industries Institute, will expand current molten salt research for solar energy applications into minerals processing with a view to maximising successful technology development and commercialisation.
