Professor Papangelakis’s research interests are in the development of novel technologies that address sustainability requirements in the extraction and processing of mineral resources. Using the fundamentals of aqueous process chemistry and engineering his research group develops hydrometallurgical solutions to process complex mineral resources for the production of metals and metallic products. A key focus of his research is to develop novel processes which reduce the impact on water resources.
