Academic-industry partnership develops better ways to manage sulfur compounds at mining sites
University of Toronto, Other, 05/03/2022
A mine straddling the border of Saskatchewan and northern Manitoba will be the first in the world to deploy an innovative new technique for monitoring and managing sulfur compounds, including thiosalts. The strategy – co-developed by an international research team that includes researchers from the University of Toronto, Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) and Canadian miner Hudbay Minerals, Inc. – helps improve understanding of possible effects on the environment and has potentially far-reaching applications for global mines processing sulfide containing ores.
