Webinar: Optimisation of the extraction of Sn, B, and other metals from the Borate Deposit

Join the Metallurgical Society for their webinar: Optimisation of the extraction of Sn, B, and other metals from the Borate Deposit.

About this event

In the pursuit of sustainable resource utilisation, the extraction and refinement of valuable metals from borate deposits have emerged as a critical area of study. This webinar, led by Dr. Lisha Dong, will explore innovative methods for optimising the recovery of tin (Sn), boron (B), and other valuable metals from complex borate ores.

Dr. Dong will discuss advanced extraction techniques, including the use of tailored chemical processes, hydrometallurgical strategies, and integrated system designs. The webinar will delve into key challenges such as enhancing selectivity, reducing energy consumption, and minimising environmental impacts during the extraction process.

Attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge research, practical applications in metallurgical engineering, and how these advancements contribute to meeting the growing demand for critical metals in various industries. Whether you are a professional in mining, materials science, or sustainability, this webinar promises to provide valuable knowledge to help navigate the evolving landscape of resource extraction.
