More information:
The Mining and Minerals Engineering Research Group has research expertise in geomechanics and mining, and mineral processing and recycling. Key research areas in mining include: the application of acoustic emission studies in geomechanics; numerical modelling applied to mining and civil engineering; landslide mechanisms and monitoring; ground behaviour in underground coal and metal mines; the application of neural networks in rock engineering; and blasting technology. The group also have considerable expertise in health and safety, particularly related to the mining and quarrying industry. A key strength is its collaboration with, and research funding from, UK and international industry. Research in minerals engineering includes work on fine grinding of industrial minerals and processing of complex ores, and the application of automated ore sorting technology. In addition, the group has considerable expertise in the transfer of mineral processing technology in recycling and the development of novel materials from recycled products.
