Raw to recycled – A geometallurgical approach
The R2R-Geomet project consisted in a short course in geometallurgy. It delivered a range of practical “how to” short courses for industry professionals and students as well as longer-term courses. This course aimed at delivering integrated training and education initiatives suitable for practical training to support resource characterisation and geometallurgical integration. The course consisted in three components:
- A detailed overview module that complemented existing programmes (e.g. EMC, Recycling Hub);
- A course for practitioners (industry and research) to introduce methods, outcomes and integration;
- A series of modules designed to follow up the introductory programme and offer practical, hands-on training of specific aspects of integrated resource characterisation.
In this context, a three-day seminar took place at the University of Liège. The short course introduced a range of techniques to enhance collection of geological information relevant to mineral processing. It included presentations, the use of tools, computer-based modelling exercises and case studies.
