About the Scholarship

We are partnering with CSIRO to offer four scholarships for PhD research in high-temperature processing of materials. The successful candidates will collaborate closely with researchers from Swinburne and CSIRO, as well as industry partners, to advance their knowledge and skills.

Scholarship Projects
  • The Behaviour of Gangue Minerals in Australian Ores in DRI Production: This project aims to investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of direct reduced iron (DRI) production using high-phosphorus, silica, and alumina-rich iron ores from the Pilbara region in Australia.
  • Fundamentals of Electric Smelting of Australian Ores: This project seeks to understand the behaviour of high-gangue Australian iron ores in Hydrogen DRI processing and subsequent Electric Smelting Furnace (ESF) treatment.
  • Smelting of Blackmass for Recovery of Critical Metals: This project aims to develop a high-temperature recycling process to recover critical elements like lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, iron, aluminium, and phosphorus from blackmass, a complex material formed during the recycling of various battery types.
  • Thermodynamics/Kinetics of Critical Elements in Slag/Metal Reaction: This project will investigate the distribution and kinetics of critical elements, such as rare earths, during secondary copper smelting.
