I am also teaching a range of undergraduate subjects, including process control, reaction engineering, industrial chemistry and computer applications. These are the parts of a Bayer process cycle. Above that, I do development work for future installation of facilities. Life is wonderful here. The nature is beautiful and fishing is very popular.
People are nice and very friendly.
It is summer all year round. This work has taken me from the Perth offices to the Murrin Murrin mine site and even a stint at the Mineral Processing laboratories at Murdoch University. My position involves some teaching and working on a variety of research projects. The main project I am working on is a proposed process to treat chalcopyrite concentrate in chloride media. The main circuits in the process are leaching, copper reduction, solvent extraction-electrowinning and iron rejection.
