Mineral Processing
Mineral Processing deals with unit operations and processes for the preparation of solid, particulate matter, primarily ore minerals, industrial minerals and solid fuels but also waste, recycling materials, and products from the process industry.
In line with the green transition and a sustainable supply of primary and secondary raw materials, our research and postgraduate education in mineral processing are based on three pillars:
- Material characterization (mineralogical analyses, particle analyses),
- Unit operations (comminution, classification, beneficiation, dewatering) and
- System design and analysis (flowsheet development, modelling and simulation, geometallurgy).
Experimental work is carried out in our well-equipped mineral processing laboratory with access to state-of-the-art instruments and a broad range of processing equipment.
Within undergraduate education, we contribute to engineering programmes such as Sustainable Process and Chemical Engineering, Georesource Engineering (EMerald), Arctic Mineral Resources, and are part of the Swedish School of Mines at LTU.

Swedish School of Mines
Research, education and infrastructure across the entire value chain of minerals and metals.

Research School
Doctoral studies, or third cycle studies (TCS), usually take four to five year to render a Doctoral thesis and a PhD degree.
