The Parker Centre generates research outputs that maximise returns from hydrometallurgical processing of mineral resources and reduce environmental impacts of hydrometallurgical processes. Hydrometallurgical processes utilise aqueous solutions to extract metals and metallic compounds such as alumina, gold, nickel, copper and zinc from minerals.

Calling all Parker Centre student Alumni

As part of our 20th anniversary celebrations, we are interested in hearing from individuals who completed an Honours degree or PhD with the Parker Centre.     We would like to acknowledge the contribution our previous students have made to the Minerals industry, research and academia by including Alumni members in celebratory events, including recognition in a special addition of the Hydrometallurgy Journal.   To register your interest please contact our education manager by e-mailing nadine.smith@parkercentre.com.au
