Graeme John Jameson

Jameson Cell mineral separation device, which he devised in the 1980s. The Jameson Cell uses bubbles to separate super fine particles during mineral processing.[2] It is based on the froth flotation mineral separation process, first invented in 1905.[3][4][5]

In the coal industry alone, Jameson's cell has retrieved A$36 billion worth of export coal particles.[2] It is being used worldwide in the separation of coal, copper, lead, nickel, platinum, silver and zinc.[3]

Education

In 1960 Jameson received a

PhD[6] from the University of Cambridge.[7]

Career and research

Jameson has been Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Newcastle since 1978.[3]

Awards and honours

Jameson was appointed an

Prime Minister's Prize for Science for his cell, and the Prime Minister's Prize for Innovation.[2][7] Also in 2015, he was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for the development of innovative flotation technology for advanced mineral processing. In 2018 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS), the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence with a fellowship of 1600 of the world's most eminent scientists.[10]
