* Research alert * .....and Ola from Spain!
... where #COEMinerals researcher, materials engineer Regina Medeiros is attending the 13th International Colloids Conference (#COLL2024).
We are delighted to share Regina's new research paper: "Selective aggregation of fine copper minerals using charged polyacrylamides", open access, in Elsevier Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects: https://lnkd.in/gjn_3ukB
Congratulations to all authors, including Dr Casey Thomas and Prof. George Franks
Research explainer:
#Copper minerals are essential for securing the future supply of renewable energy and cleaner technologies, with previous studies showing an increasing crescent copper demand of up to 350% by 2050.
The proposed flocculation approach has the potential of improving the collection of the fine copper particles normally lost in industrial separation processes, which can count for up to 20% of total copper in the ore. Additionally, it offers an alternative to #reprocessing existing mineral waste, reducing the need for additional extraction, and potentially saving water and energy use in mineral beneficiation (separation).
The research investigates how these polymers interact with the mineral surfaces, their adsorption mechanisms and flocculation capabilities, including in-situ measurement of the size and structure of the aggregates. The research shows important advances about what types of commercially inexpensive reagents can be used for flocculation, and how they can be applied to improve the recovery of valuable copper fine particles. This work should be of interest to readers in the areas of particle aggregation, polymer adsorption, in-situ particle image characterisation, and mineral processing.

Our new Special Collections Exhibition: Medieval Recycling
Recycling isn’t a new phenomenon. The practice of reusing parts of old volumes to make new ones seems to be almost as ancient as books themselves.
UWTSD’s collections include more than sixty books containing pieces of parchment recycled from older medieval and early modern manuscripts.
Our exhibition will examine some of the most interesting examples, https://lnkd.in/ebpEvrBX
In case you didn't hear, Science 😎 is Cool.
Join me at The Emerald Conference in April. This conference is not just for the science serious as the research and development affects US ALL! So whether science-centered or science-curious, we got you!
🌐 On 12-14 June, the Max Weber Programme held its 18th Annual Conference under the theme 'Continuity or rupture: towards an interdisciplinary inquiry'.
More than 90 participants gathered across 18 panels to reflect on the current state of academia and exchange ideas between disciplines 💭

Gesellschaftzur Förderung der Immundiagnostik e.V.: We promote early diagnosis & treatment of immune-related illnesses through books, conferences & projects. gfid-ev.de/index_eng.htm
Great conference - always nice to be in a room full of likeminded people and to feel re-assured that we’re doing great work in Hartlepool!
Key takeaways
1. Lived experience and poverty truth commissions are vital, always ensure they are meaningful.
2. £19billion in unclaimed benefits - use data to target specific groups such as pension credit and school age.
3. Campaign locally for LAs to auto-enrol free school meals.
4. Interesting debate on whether LAs are the right people to create an anti-poverty strategy.
5. Capacity issue in benefit and money advice sector
6. Community organising & training local people in low level money guidance (with expected & monitored standards)
A photorealistic digital model of the ancient Temple of Bel in Palmyra, Syria, destroyed in 2015, is showcased at the UC San Diego Library. The digital model includes every stone, offering a detailed reconstruction that emphasizes the critical role of digital documentation in preserving world cultural heritage sites.
