Saline water use in Australia's mining, agricultural, and drinking water industries is increasing. Many of the production processes of these industries are underpinned by many complex molecular phenomena and interactions at the saline water - air interfaces which we want to understand, optimise and design. The findings will have direct benefits in the field of flotation used to recover valuable minerals using hyper-saline bore water and to produce drinking water from seawater by desalination. This project is important because it will lead to sustainable ways of producing water and using water in industry. Its success will ensure that our industries remain at the forefront of innovation and are globally competitive.

澳大利亚的采矿、农业和饮用水行业对盐水的使用正在增加。这些行业的许多生产过程都是由咸水-空气界面上的许多复杂分子现象和相互作用支撑的，我们想要了解、优化和设计这些现象和相互作用。这一发现将在利用高盐钻孔水回收有价值矿物的浮选领域以及通过海水淡化从海水中生产饮用水方面具有直接的好处。这个项目很重要，因为它将引导可持续的用水方式和工业用水方式。它的成功将确保我们的工业保持在创新的前沿，并具有全球竞争力。
