Mineral Processing

I respond well to requests from colleagues and students in a timely manner and I am adept at prioritizing multiple ongoing projects. Additionally, I am adept at: • Evaluating alternative medium that can be used to replace Magnetite in the dry dense medium fluidised bed process. • Magnetic Separation, Spirals, Samplers, Solid –Liquid separation, Filter presses, Centrifuges and Water Treatment • Analysing the influence of particle size on metallurgical performance • Evaluating of reagent Rinkalore X as a collector in the Copper Process. I am a self-starter and not scared of challenges. I am also deeply familiar with Microsoft Word, Excel, and power point, and adapt quickly to new programs. As a part of your organisation’s team, I hope to bring a resourceful, flexible and hardworking attitude to contribute to your organisation continued growth.

Pros: Great opportunity to learn more

Working at the lab

A typical work day for me is always an interesting one. I get to the lab I start cleaning up sterilizing everything sweeping the floor. I start my work by wearing my lab-coat and gloves again I have to sterilize my gloves. then other colleagues usually arrive after that, an I great them with a smile. We begin to plan what we will do for the day and hope to achieve. I would describe my relationship with my co-workers as strictly work related we never talk about each others personal lives. I have learnt that hard work pays off if its executed properly and wisely. I enjoy just working and having a productive day at the lab. then later on read journals that actually makes my work easy to understand. the most challenging job is being judge based on my looks and the fact that I am a black woman. i get restricted from doing certain things cause of my gender.

Pros: N/A
Cons: having to travel from 3am to 5pm collecting samples

Perfect learning curve

It’s a great environment to take off your career as chemistry graduate with great exposure to the lab surrounding and basic lab responsibilities. Preparing of solutions for students and demonstrating experiments were key responsibilities which also included operating instruments like AA, UV, GC & IR spectroscopy. I haven’t to say it’s angrea learning curve and it grew me so much that I’m seeing the lab environment differently and confidently and I’m definitely ready to tackle bigger responsibilities at a different industry.

Pros: Great opportunity for learning the lab environment
Cons: Nothing at all
