Mix Designs for Paste Aggregate Fills (Old ID 22395)
Siva Sivakugan
27 Dec 2015 - 30 Apr 2016
JCU is requested to prepare the paste aggregate fill (PAF) samples, mixed with tailings in three different proportions. The samples are approximately 200mm diameter and 400mm in length, and the PAF should exclude fractions larger than 20mm and those less than 1.18mm. In all three mixes, UCS tests will be carried out after 7, 14, 28, 56 and 100 days and strength and Young's modulus will be determined. In addition, the grain size distribution, specific gravity, bulk density, and moisture content will be determined. In addition, it is also required to carry out slump tests on the different mixes using the standard slump cone.
Effective PPE waste processing using microwave pyrolysis (Old ID 28926)
Mohan Jacob
01 Jul 2022 - 30 Jun 2023
This project aims to investigate the feasibility of processing the PPE waste materials using a Microwave Assisted Waste processing technology developed at James Cook University. The specific objectives of the project are: i. Identify the processing conditions (e.g. Microwave power, time) suitable to kill pathogens in the waste material ii. Investigate the presence of pathogens in the residual material or by-products iii. Understand the physical and chemical properties of the by-products to identify potential applications
Performance tests of acid mist suppressants (Old ID 22793)
Yinghe He
01 Jul 2016 - 30 Sep 2016
This project will test the effect of two (2) chemicals (acid mist suppressants) supplied by Huntsman Corporation on the morphology of the cathode during an electro-winning process.
Qcide® Oil Extraction and Processing Technology with the aim to improve the oil extraction process (Old ID 26262)
Yinghe He
10 Dec 2018 - 10 May 2019
Implement an on-site experimentation program to establish baseline parameters (temperature, pressure, flow rates, oil yield) for the existing static oil extraction system using instrumentation acquired and installed as part of a previous (Phase 1) project. Evaluate the effect of key extraction process variables on the quantity and quality of the oil, and evaluate product change with process variable(s). Correlate the measurement results with the oil content results to develop an understanding of steam flow, biomass-stream contact and the oil extraction dynamics, and their possible variations from batch to batch. Analysis and reporting of experimentation results.
Improving the resilience of existing housing to severe wind events (Old ID 21317)
John Ginger
01 Jan 2014 - 30 Jun 2017
Australian houses built prior to the mid 1980s do not offer the same level of performance and protection during windstorms as houses constructed to contemporary building standards. This project will develop the evidence base for risk mitigation by devising simple practical and economic upgrading options for existing houses. The primary objective of this project is to develop cost-effective strategies for mitigating damage to housing from severe windstorms across Australia. Outputs from this project will target a range of users from policy development through to homeowners and builders on recommended actions to improve resilience of existing housing.
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Radiation Study for ESCO Pacific (Old ID 22962)
Ahmad Zahedi
29 Aug 2016 - 21 Oct 2016
To investigate the current Australian and International Guidelines and allowable EMF radiation limits to provide the regulatory context to ESCO Pacific for their planned solar farm as well as measure the current baseline EMF radiation levels around existing power lines, various locations on the site of intended solar farm as well as in-home EMF radiation measurements in selected surrounding residential properties to assess EMF emission compliance.
Vacuum solution with an IoT-integrated management system. (Old ID 26816)
Eric Wang
01 May 2020 - 13 Apr 2021
Vacuum cleaners used in commercial cleaning services have been primarily dominated by corded and cumbersome vacuum cleaners. Although cordless and lightweight vacuum cleaners have been around for domestic users for some time, there ar eno cordless vacuum cleaners designed for commercial cleaning services in the market. In view of this fact, this project aims to develop a new cordless vacuum cleaner for commercial vacuum cleaning services with an IoT-integrated management system.
OPTIMISATION OF THE PROCESSING PLANT FOR GOLD EXTRACTION. (Old ID 27575)
Elsa Antunes
21 Feb 2022 - 30 Nov 2022
This project with Minjar Gold involves thesis students solving industry related problems. Therefore, the funding provided by Minjar Gold in mainly to cover analysis that will be performed at the AAC. The main objective is to optimise the production of gold covering 3 main aspects: (1) exploring alternatives to slurry dewatering; (2) investigating pump capacity within Processing Plant and suggest alternatives; (3) investigating and modelling the average slurry residence time in the adsorption tanks in different scenarios.
Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics for Cairns Marine (Old ID 26460)
Wei Xiang
29 Apr 2019 - 28 Apr 2020
This project will assist to analyse the large repository of data held by Cairns marine in relation to its full operations, i.e., from harvest to husbandry, inventory tracking and sales fulfilment. The physical systems currently in use at Cairns Marine are extensive and complex, involving a range of activities in Northern Australia, all activities on site (including R&D) in Cairns and full product (marine animals) stewardship to destination. A deep and informed understanding of data is required by the business to meet its growing global product commitments.
UCS, Indirect Tensile Strength and 3-Point Beam Tests on MIM Paste (Old ID 22399)
Siva Sivakugan
12 Oct 2015 - 30 Oct 2016
JCU is requested to carry out an extensive series of different tests on 50 mm dia. X 100 mm cylindrical specimens prepared and cured in the geomechanics laboratory. The tests will be in three stages, covering the three different solid contents 74.5%, 76.5% and 77.5%. The tests include uniaxial compression tests, indirect tensile strength and three-point bending. For each mix, slump tests have to be carried out at the beginning, to develop the slump height versus solid content variation.
