Pyrite to Pyrrhotite transformations during roasting

Description: This PhD research will investigate how variations in pyrite texture and chemical composition affect its transformation during roasting. The study will provide insights into:

  • The impact of pyrite type on the roasting process.
  • Optimisation of mineral processing techniques.

Benefits: Understanding pyrite transformations will help improve mineral processing techniques, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of extracting valuable metals. This research will support the development of more sustainable processing methods, contributing to the competitiveness and environmental performance of Australia’s mining industry.
