The module gives graduates from a range of disciplines the opportunity to study the fundamentals of material handling, dewatering and waste management associated with the minerals industry. These three areas are key to the successful operation of a mine and processing plant. This module could be taken on its own to provide a valuable insight into important processes in the mining cycle. When linked to other specific modules, it forms part of the specialist training for the MSc in Minerals Engineering.

If you take this module, you should have a reasonable understanding of physical chemistry and heat/mass transfer and would benefit from a basic knowledge of mathematics. Support and guidance in self-study to improve understanding in these areas can be provided. This module is suitable for non-specialist students and those on interdisciplinary pathways.
