Screening, optimising and near infrared application to algal lipids for biodiesel production

Achieving mine closure is intrinsically linked to the selection and successful rehabilitation of a suitable post mining land use. The diverse localities and nature of mining operations require flexible, adaptable and progressive rehabilitation techniques in order to achieve this objective. Similarly, standardised, comparative and repeatable methods for assessing the success of ecosystem rehabilitation are desirable. In Queensland Australia environmental evaluations, that quantify the risk of a rehabilitated site failing, are vital to obtaining progressive or final rehabilitation sign off.
