Towards a mechanistic understanding of electrokinetic in-situ leaching
Abstract
EK-ISR will enable extraction of metals from a wide range of low-permeability media such as intact ore, clays and tailings without the need for excavation. This will provide access to otherwise stranded Western Australian assets that can’t be mined economically with conventional mining technologies, while reducing the environmental impact of mining
Fields of Study & Subjects
Electrokinetic Soil Remediation Techniques
Extraction and Separation Processes
