Thanks very much for your help Regards Jian Proposed PhD project (September 2008) BASE METALS MARKET PROJECT 3: Topic Mineralogy and Leaching Performance of Laterite Ores Supervisors Prof Arie van Riessen & Dr Robert Hart (Curtin University Dept of Imaging and Applied Physics), Dr Jian Li (CSIRO Minerals), Dr Robbie McDonald (CSIRO Minerals) Outline Western Australia has vast resources of low-grade nickel laterites (ie grade <0.8% nickel) that are currently uneconomic to process. Pressure, atmospheric and heap leaching are the three major technologies that are commercially applied to extract nickel from these types of ores. A major problem for atmospheric and heap leaching is that some ores, and in particular limonite ores, are quite acid resistant, leading to low nickel extraction (<50%) over a time period when other ores leach well. Fundamental understanding of limonite ore mineralogy will assist industry to assess leaching performance under atmospheric and heap leaching conditions. This project proposes to examine the key mineralogical factors responsible for the poor leaching performance of limonite ores under atmospheric and heap leaching conditions. The successful applicant will join a growing team of mineral characterisation scientists. He/she will be trained in state-of-art technologies including TEM, SEM, QEM*SCAN, QXRD (including Rietveld analysis) and other characterisation techniques. The applicant will also have the opportunity to develop skills in the hydrometallurgical processing of nickel laterite ores.
