Mineral Processing Research is focused on the development of fabrication of the derivative material from local mineral resources through mechanochemical and wet chemistry methods. This includes the development of scalable and green processing routes for processing mineral resources that can be commercialized. We are currently using hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods to synthesis oxide nanomaterials. Moreover, we also fabricate high resistance materials by the mechanical alloying and solid-solid reaction in low temperatures reaction. Recent highlights include the synthesis of manganese ferrite for a high resistance pigment and the development of the leaching routes to produce zirconium oxide from zircon sand by mechanochemical.
