An environmental and process chemical engineer, Annah Moyo provides valuable engineering insights for environmental and process solutions. Specialising in characterisation, risk assessment, processing, and sustainable management of legacy mine and industrial wastes, I focus on developing geochemical and environmental characterisation tools, exploring opportunities for (re)processing and value recovery of critical metals, and repurposing waste streams. My mission is to drive positive environmental change through engineering innovation and expertise.
As a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Alberta, my research work includes investigating passive heap leaching of Mg-rich ores, waste rock and tailings for CO2 sequestration and subsequent recovery of critical metals including Ni, Cu and Co. My previous post-doctoral research experience at the University of Queensland, Australia focused on the geoenvironmental and geochemical characterisation of Australian mine wastes for potential reprocessing and recovery of critical metals as well as environmental risk evaluation. I have also researched on the potential use of alkaline industrial wastes as cost-effective and environmentally sustainable options for remediating acid and metalliferous drainage at abandoned mine sites in Tasmania, Australia.
