Via Dr Pascoe, businesses are able to access expertise and facilities which include potential applications for:
- Minerals
- Aggregates
- Wastes containing metals
- Glass and plastics
- Contaminated land
A purpose built laboratory is available for sample preparation, screening, classification, and physical separation. Separation techniques can be based on density, conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, surface properties (such as froth flotation) or appearance in visible or NIR light.
