Industrial Revolution in mining |
Mining technology
Before the introduction of steam power, labour was conducted with muscle
power (both men and horses). The industrial use of steam power started with
Thomas Savery in 1698. He constructed and patented in London the first
engine, which he called the 'Miner's Friend' since he intended it to pump
water from mines.
Extractive metallurgical technologies today can be divided into mineral
processing, hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy. Mineral processing involves
using physical processes to manipulate ore particle size and concentrate
valuable minerals through processes of separation. Hydrometallurgy uses
liquid solutions to extract metals from ores, such as through leaching,
precipitation of insoluble compounds and pressure reduction. Pyrometallurgy
treats ores at high temperatures to convert ore minerals to raw metals or
intermediate compounds. This involves processes such as roasting, smelting
and converting.
Industrial Revolution
The era known as the Industrial Revolution was a period in which
fundamental changes occurred in agriculture, textile and metal manufacture,
transportation, economic policies and the social structure in England.
Advances in agricultural techniques and practices resulted in an increased
supply of food and raw materials, changes in industrial organization and new
technology resulted in increased production, efficiency and profits, and the
increase in commerce, foreign and domestic, were all conditions which
promoted the advent of the Industrial Revolution.
The development and subsequent application of steam power was undoubtedly
the greatest technical achievement of the Industrial Revolution. A number of
industries needed the ability to apply the enormous power produced by the
steam engine, in order to continue their advancement in production. Steam
power was used to pump water from mines, as well as in furnaces and other
factory appliances.

Parker Centre
http://www.parkercentre.com.au/
The Parker Centre was established as the AJ Parker CRC for Hydrometallurgy in 1992 in Perth (WA) under the Australian Government's Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Programme. In 1999, its research and technology transfer successes gained the Parker Centre a second seven years of funding from the CRC Programme. The current Core Participants in the Centre are CSIRO Minerals, Curtin University of Technology, Murdoch University, the University of Queensland and nine companies operating in the minerals industry. There are also 12 Supporting Participants, including mineral processing companies, Central TAFE, the Minerals Council of Australia, the WA Department of Industry and Resources and industry suppliers.
Almost everything we use in our modern technological society is composed of, or requires the use of, mined products. Hydrometallurgical processes utilise aqueous solutions to extract metallic compounds [eg alumina, manganese dioxide (for batteries) and titanium dioxide (for paints)] and metals (such as gold, nickel, copper and zinc) from minerals. Hydrometallurgy is vitally important to the Australian economy: it played an essential role in the production of around 50% of Australia’s A$52 billion exports of metals and metallic compounds in 2005-2006.
