Muhammad Ibrahim Cheema

Muhammad Ibrahim Cheema, a researcher at Curtin University with expertise in sustainable hydrometallurgy and materials science, is committed to advancing green solutions for industrial challenges. As part of the HILT CRC Project RP1.011 Upgrading iron ore for direct reduced iron production using products from seawater reverse osmosis brines, his work involves optimising the hydrometallurgical upgrading of iron ores using reagents derived from reverse osmosis brines. This innovative approach focuses on the selective removal of impurities such as silicon, aluminum and phosphorus to enhance ore quality while promoting the utilisation of brine-derived chemicals, aligning with circular-economy principles. Muhammad’s previous research includes surface treatments of quasicrystals-based alloys and developing material with enhanced hydrogen storage capabilities for environmental applications. These projects underscore his ability to address material challenges through tailored chemical processes. His specialisation in hydrometallurgical techniques and focus on environmentally sustainable solutions positions him to drive impactful innovations in resource processing and industrial efficiency.
