Established in 1977, Department of Mining Engineering was started as one of the first university disciplines. Objective of this department as one of the most experienced units in mining engineering education, efforts to train experts in various fields of exploration, extraction, rock mechanics and mining and mineral processing in order to create change in the mineral industry and the needs of industry.
The department of Mining Engineering consists of four main programs of Mineral processing, Mining exploration, Mining Exploitation and Rock Mechanics.The research activities and industrial projects are basically done in the graduate levels individually or by teams, in Mining and Rock Mechanics.
The research activities and research interests of the Department of Mining Engineering are as follows:
- Mineral Processing in the field of Hydrometallurgy includes Leaching, Solution concentration and purification, Metal Recovery.
