The project aims to investigate the electrochemical interaction occurring during the grinding of low-grade copper ores and understand how the interaction affects the recovery of copper minerals and rejection of waste minerals in the subsequent separation process. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of minerals processing and materials engineering using interdisciplinary approaches. Expected outcomes of this project include cost-effective new steel products used for grinding copper ores and new chemical solutions to selectively reject waste minerals during mineral separation. This should significantly reduce the operating costs in copper processing plants and increase the copper production from low-grade copper ores.

该项目旨在研究低品位铜矿石研磨过程中发生的电化学相互作用，并了解这种相互作用如何影响铜矿石的回收和后续分离过程中废矿物的剔除。该项目预计将利用跨学科方法在矿物加工和材料工程领域产生新的知识。该项目的预期成果包括用于研磨铜矿石的具有成本效益的新钢铁产品，以及在矿物分离过程中选择性地剔除废矿物的新化学解决方案。这将大大降低铜加工厂的运营成本，并增加低品位铜矿石的铜产量。
