Grant Activity:
Manufacturing HPA and Critical Mineralsfrom Vanadium mine waste
Purpose:
Lava Blue and QUT have demonstrated that mineral processing waste can be used as the raw materials for production of HPA and potentially other economic minerals.
North Queensland hosts one of the largest vanadium resources in the world. The extraction of vanadium creates waste from which high purity alumina can be produced, and potentially magnesium and other minerals can be recovered.
The Lava Blue HPA Mini-Plant, under construction in Brisbane, will scale up of production of High Purity Alumina and demonstrate recovery of magnesium and residual vanadium from this process waste. Commercialisation of this work is expected to significantly improve the economics of vanadium production in Queensland.
