Inorganic membrane percrystallisation in hydrometallurgy

该项目旨在为澳大利亚用于金属化合物结晶的新型无机膜技术开发科学和工程基础。无机膜超晶化是最近的一项突破，有望提高生产率、节能和定制颗粒特性的能力。该项目将开发一个包含溶液传输现象、晶体成核-生长-团聚以及影响单盐和二元盐体系的工程工艺参数的机理模型。这一模式将为有利于澳大利亚的技术开发提供基础，例如为不断增长的电池材料市场改善硫酸镍的生产。

This project aims is to develop the scientific and engineering basis for a new Australian inorganic membrane technology for the crystallisation of metal compounds. Inorganic membrane percrystallisation is a recent breakthrough promising improved productivity, energy savings and the ability to tailor particle properties. This project will develop a mechanistic model encompassing solution transport phenomena, crystal nucleation-growth-agglomeration and engineering process parameters affecting single and binary salt systems. This model will provide a basis for technology development benefiting Australia, such as the improvement of the production of nickel sulphate for the growing battery materials market.
