Understanding microwave induced sorting of porphyry copper ores (2015)
Journal Article

Global demand for minerals and metals is increasing. It has been established that the impact of mining and mineral processing operations must be reduced to sustainably meet the demands of a low grade future. Successful incorporation of ore sorting in... Read More about Understanding microwave induced sorting of porphyry copper ores.

Understanding the performance of a pilot vermiculite exfoliation system through process mineralogy (2015)
Journal Article

This paper reports on the application of process mineralogy to understand the experimental performance of a microwave based system for the exfoliation of vermiculite type minerals. When montmorillonite type clay structures are exposed to high intensi... Read More about Understanding the performance of a pilot vermiculite exfoliation system through process mineralogy.

Understanding the scabbling of concrete using microwave energy (2015)
Journal Article

This paper reports on the use of microwave energy to scabble concrete. While the technique is not new, little information exists relating to the controllability of the process, the effect of different types of concrete and the performance and durabil...

Microvawe pyrolysis of biomass: control of process parameters for high pyrolysis oil yields and enhanced oil quality (2015)
Journal Article

The oil yield and quality of pyrolysis oil from microwave heating of biomass was established by studying the behaviour of Larch in microwave processing. This is the first study in biomass pyrolysis to use a microwave processing technique and methodol...
