- This optimal air control strategy for mineral separation was a key deliverable from the £12M Rio Tinto Centre for Advanced Mineral Recovery (2008-2016) at Imperial. Rio Tinto implemented the strategy at the 6000 t/h Kennecott copper mine (Rio Tinto, contact: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk) and the technology has also been licensed to Mintek (2019). Plenary and invited lectures include IFAC MMM 2019 (Hadler), Outotec 70th Anniversary Conference and Robinson Memorial Lecture at University of the Witwatersrand (Cilliers, 2019). Two mining companies have since funded further flotation research (FLSmidth, £190k, FoEREF@ic.ac.uk and Outotec, £220k, FoEREF@ic.ac.uk).
