Towards understanding and solving aqueous and interfacial chemistryissues in mineral beneficiation processes
The aim of the project is to better understand aqueous and mineral surfaces interactions under
conditions specific to flotation and cyanidation plants that are sponsoring COREM’s research.
Innovative and integrated research studies have proved to be useful in increasing plant performances
over the years and the industry is promoting a better understanding, through detailed characterization
work, of deleterious reactions specific to their systems. The three postdoctoral fellows will focus on
describing the exact nature of reactions between solid interfaces and an aqueous media, in selected
and simplified systems, using a set of approaches from numerical modeling of molecular interactions
to laboratory evaluations of process performances. In this project, the general methodology consists
in coupling (1) lab-scale process performance evaluations by fast-tracking methods and (2) a better
understanding through various interfacial and aqueous characterization methods. Highly qualified
post-doctoral fellows supported by MITACS will hold the innovative part of the research at Laval
University under the supervision of Pr. F. Larachi.
