Summary Fourteen species of sedges, rushes and bulrushes were studied to develop suitable propagation techniques. Rhizome transplantation techniques were developed following trials made at three wetland sites and under controlled…
Summary Following a review of published material on the process of ignition and flash smelting, a test programme was conducted on a pilot flash smelter. The variables examined were the…
Summary Five refractory gold ores were characterised according to their mineralogy and refractory behaviour. The mineralogy and processing response of flotation concentrates produced from the ores were investigated. Ultrafine milling…
Summary The morphology, viability, germination and dispersal of seeds were studied for Hibbertia hypericoides, H.commutata. H.huegelii, H.amplexicaulis, H.serrata and H.cuneiformis. Keywords: Hibbertia, propagation, morphology, viability
Summary A 4.5 MN Instron stiff servo-controlled testing machine was used to conduct compression tests on samples in a range of sizes and an Instron 1342 servo-controlled universal testing machine…
Summary Use is made of magnetic data for quantitative interpretation of geological structure. Several slab, fold and fault models have been developed to provide a reasonably realistic approximation to real…
Summary Results obtained from research into rates of groundwater recharge to hypersaline palaeochannel aquifers in the eastern goldfields region of Western Australia are described. Techniques used in the investigation included…
Summary This project examines the treatment of arsenic trioxide waste from Windarra and a heavy metal hydroxide sludge from the liquid waste treatment plant at Forrestdale by cement solidification. The…
Summary Deposit geochemistry and fluid chemistry show that gold deposits in amphibolite/granulite facies terranes are high-temperature analogues of mesothermal deposits. The metamorphic grade during mineralisation influenced the structural style, host…
Summary Results of investigations undertaken over a period of 2 years, and covering observations on seed production, viability, germination and ecological characteristics of Eremophila species, are presented. Keywords: Eremophila, revegetation,…
Summary The regeneration biology of a broad range of Australian Restionaceae (Southern hemisphere rushes) and the micropropagation protocols required to achieve successful rehabilitation of post-mined areas are examined. The current…
Summary A new, non-invasive laser-based technique for measuring condensate density at high temperature and pressure has been established and sophisticated digital imaging techniques have been developed to measure interphase surface…
