Ehanced Hydrodynamic Fractionation of Particles

煤炭行业是澳大利亚经济的主要贡献者，在决定放弃现有的实验室标准后，迫切需要一种新的可选性方法。现有的方法依赖于使用已知对人类健康有害的重有机液体。这项研究提出的基于水的方法克服了对人类健康的风险问题，从而使澳大利亚工人、直接行业和更广泛的社区受益。可以使矿业和其他关键行业受益的新的分离技术应该随之而来。该项目还将导致两名研究生的教育和培训，以及两名博士后研究人员在这一工业领域的进步。

The coal industry, which is a major contributor to the Australian economy, urgently needs a new washability method following its decision to abandon the existing laboratory standard. The existing method relies on the use of heavy organic liquids which are known to be toxic to human health. The 'water-based' approach proposed in this study overcomes the problem of risk to human health, thus benefiting Australian workers, the immediate industry, and wider community. New separation technologies that could benefit the minerals industries and other key industries should follow. The project will also result in the education and training of two postgraduate students, and the advancement of two postdoctoral researchers in this area of industry.
