Overview
Background
Dr. Foad Raji is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Chemical Engineering, The University of Queensland (UQ). Within UQ’s Minerals and Energy Resources Processing group, he focuses on improving mineral and gold recovery in flotation processes. His research explores solution chemistry, surface interactions, and electrochemistry to develop eco-friendly biopolymer depressants, enhancing copper-gold ore extraction efficiency. Using first-principles tools like Density Functional Theory (DFT), he investigates interfacial phenomena at the molecular level, advancing sustainable technologies for mineral processing and environmental remediation.
