Hydrometallurgy
The Hydrometallurgy Group in the Department of Materials Engineering focuses on the hydrometallurgical extraction of metals. We are especially interested in developing novel hydrometallurgical processes and applications.
Corrosion
We conduct corrosion research across a wide spectrum of industries, including extractive metallurgy, public utilities, and oil & gas. We have specialized expertise and equipment in the corrosion of various metals and alloys in high-temperature and high-pressure aqueous environments.
Equipment
We are equipped with a wide variety of potentiostats, autoclaves, and corrosion cells. We also have access to some of the most modern analytical facilities for morphological, solution, and surface analyses.
