Process Development Scientist, Mineral and Chemical

Mineral and Chemical Process Development Scientist required to help develop and improve novel process technologies for extracting, refining, and purifying lithium from micaceous granites.

You will execute bench scale trials in the Metallurgy Lab and provision scientific design data to help develop a world-class micaceous lithium resource.

Skills:

1. Mining experience of mineral and chemical processing technologies.
2. Chemistry or Earth Science degree.
3. Inorganic Chemical Process laboratory experience of lithium chemistry.
4. Mineral and chemical process design.

1. Conduct metallurgical laboratory trials and experiments, including sample collection, analysis, data collection, and data recording.
2. Work on sustainable processes for the recovery of battery-grade lithium carbonate from micaceous granite.
3. Help create an integrated lithium mining, beneficiation, and refinery plant producing lithium carbonate for electric vehicles.
4. Engage with design engineers and other stakeholders to define, specify, and derisk lithium carbonate process technology.
