Murdoch University PhD Scholarship

Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia is offering three fully funded PhD scholarships in an industry-linked ARC-funded research program in partnership with BHP. The project theme is Copper: From Ore to Flowsheet , spanning the full copper value chain from ore geology and mineralogy through extractive processing and impurity management to techno-economic and life cycle assessment. These PhD positions are designed for candidates with strong interests in economic geology, geometallurgy, ex...

PhD opportunity at Murdoch University, Perth, Australia in copper concentrates , extractive metallurgy , separation chemistry , impurity management , mineralogy , geochemistry , and materials science . This funded PhD project asks how mineralogical information can be translated into selective chemistry that improves metal recovery while safely managing deleterious elements in copper concentrates. The work combines laboratory-scale extractive metallurgy experiments with advanced mineralogical and...
