Met4Tech PhD student, Lara Tritton of Leicester University, won the Young Persons Lecture competition at the regional Min South, part of the Institute of Materials & Mining (IOM3).
Her talk was titled ‘Sourcing critical metals Te, Bi and W as by-products from Björkdal Gold Mine, Sweden’.
Te, W and Bi are on many critical metals lists, and her work aims to source these metals as by-products from gold mining using environmentally-benign, low-cost Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs), with Björkdal as a feasibility study.
