Our research applies electrochemistry to the extraction and recovery of metals and to the corrosion of materials in demanding aqueous environments. Our work spans sulphide mineral leaching, pressure and atmospheric leaching, electrometallurgy, corrosion and protective coatings, with particular expertise in high-temperature, high-pressure systems.
The Corrosion group is located on the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus in the Frank Forward Building.
Research Areas
Hydrometallurgy
The Hydrometallurgy Group in the Department of Materials Engineering focuses on hydrometallurgical extraction of various metals. We are especially interested in developing novel hydrometallurgy processes and applications.
Corrosion
Our corrosion research applies electrochemical methods to understand and prevent the degradation of metals and alloys, with particular expertise in high-temperature, high-pressure aqueous environments.
