SUMMARY:HILT CRC project webinar: Novel beneficiation pathways for green iron and steel
DESCRIPTION:Novel beneficiation pathways for green iron and steel\n  \nJoin HILT CRC for an update on emerging beneficiation technologies that could reshape Australia’s iron and steel supply chain. This webinar will spotlight two projects tackling the challenge of upgrading low-grade iron ores into high-quality feedstocks for direct reduced iron (DRI) production\, which is crucial for green steelmaking. \nDr Alfonso Chinnici (The University of Adelaide) will present insights from RP1.008 Green pyromet/hydromet beneficiation pathways\, which explores low- to mid-temperature pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical techniques for upgrading Pilbara and Whyalla iron ore fines. \nDr Lina Hockaday (Curtin University) will share the latest from RP1.011 Upgrading iron ore for direct reduced iron production using products from seawater reverse osmosis brines. This innovative project repurposes waste brines from desalination to drive low-waste\, hydrometallurgical beneficiation – unlocking valuable byproducts while reducing emissions and enhancing resource efficiency. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from the project leads on how novel beneficiation approaches that will contribute to iron and steel decarbonisation are advancing toward commercial application. \nAgenda \n\nWelcome and introduction – Adrien Guiraud\, CSIRO and Research Leader\, HILT CRC Program 1 (Process Technologies)\nDr Alfonso Chinnici\, University of Adelaide\nDr Lina Hockaday\, Curtin University\nQ&A.\n\n  \n\nNOTE: This webinar is exclusive to employees of HILT CRC Partner organisations. \n  \n\nSPEAKERS\nDr Alfonso Chinnici\, The University of Adelaide\n \nDr Alfonso Chinnici is a distinguished Senior Lecturer in Sustainability\, Net-Zero\, and Energy Innovation at the University of Adelaide and an executive member of its Centre for Energy Technology.
