COG3: The geology, geometallurgy and geomicrobiology of cobalt resourses leading to new product streams

Project overview

This project aimed to better understand how cobalt behaves in the Earth's crust and how cobalt minerals and ores are formed. In addition, to promote a greater understanding of the distribution and behaviour of cobalt in natural systems
