Examples of new Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities Projects in 2012 - South Australia
LIEF Projects totalling $950 000 covering 4 projects
University of South Australia
Multi-purpose facility for enhanced complex ore beneficiation and waste material recycling (LE120100209)
Summary: This facility will provide new separation equipment that exploits differences in physical-chemical characteristics and behaviour of multi-component minerals and industrial waste. The facility will be used to develop new methods to beneficiate or upgrade low-grade mineral ores and materials. Research to be conducted at this facility will lead to improved and sustainable methods which will assist in processing, recycling and reusing most of the non-metal and metal waste materials.
Chief Investigator: Professor Jonas Addai-Mensah
ARC funding: $150 000
The University of Adelaide
Enhanced powder X-ray diffraction capabilities for South Australia (LE120100012)
Summary: This X-ray diffraction facility will provide structural information on the properties of novel materials which is important for investigations ranging from post-combustion carbon dioxide capture through to the identification of new mineralogical samples. Rapid, local access to this integrated facility will position South Australian researchers to make breakthroughs that benefit Australia.
Chief Investigator: Dr Christopher J Sumby
ARC funding: $230 000
