Become a 'Virtual Metallurgist'! MCA Oresome Froth


The froth flotation process was first used for mineral separation at Broken Hill in Australia, from which it quickly became known and used world-wide. A hundred years later, flotation remains of fundamental importance in mineral processing operations.

Oresome Froth provides secondary science students with an authentic industry context for self-directed learning in applied chemistry.

Users have a virtual on-site experience as a metallurgist at a minerals processing plant.

Undertake 'on-the-job' training through staged tutorials demonstrating the science underlying the processes involved.
