ALS Metallurgy: May – September, 2023
ALS Metallurgy specializes in mineral and metallurgical testing to support more sustainable mining practices. My role focused on determining the crushing power required to process mining samples efficiently to a target particle size. This data is provided to clients to optimize energy use in mineral processing, reducing overall energy consumption in crushing operations. Based on this experience, I developed a better understanding as to what industrial sustainability efforts look like and the labs that are involved to reduce energy usage and mitigate the use of harmful chemicals when possible.
