This extension project builds on the knowledge acquired in the earlier P705 series of projects, which have been conducted by the team from the Parker Centre, Murdoch University and CSIRO Minerals. The P705B project provides a highly cost effective vehicle for participating companies to access significant technical knowledge on the electrowinning of base and other metals. It will also provide significant opportunity for industry benchmarking, programs for staff development, training, further education and networking, resources for process optimisation (cost reduction/increased recovery/reduced energy consumption), tools and information to enhance operations and opportunities to influence the direction of, and to participate in future electrowinning related collaborative projects.
