A role model in research and development

Abstract

Water personality Tell us about work and projects undertaken in the Crystallisation and Precipitation Research Unit in the Department of Chemical Engineering at UCT? The Crystallisation and Precipitation Research Unit is hosted by the Department of Chemical Engineering, which falls within the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment. The aim of the research unit is to advance existing fundamental knowledge in the fields of crystallisation and precipitation. Since precipitation processes are currently very empirically based, we are continuously working on improving the scientific understanding of these processes for scale-up, optimisation and control. Our research is mainly concerned with projects related to the mineral processing industry. Specific projects involve improving the precipitation of platinum, rhodium, nickel, copper, cobalt, iron, magnesium and calcium, but we also have many projects that focus on waterrelated issues. Briefly tell us about your PhD? I completed my PhD in 1993.
