The Mineral Processing Laboratory at NTNU is Norway’s only facility for sustainable processing of ores and minerals, supporting the transition to a circular economy. It specializes in liberating raw material phases and separating valuable components using properties such as density, magnetism, and surface chemistry.

The facilities include modular comminution and separation units with a capacity of 100-200 kg/hour. Technologies available include crushing, grinding, jet milling, flotation, magnetic and gravity separation, and advanced tools like the SelFrag HV pulse fragmentation unit and sensor-based sorter.

The lab works closely with industry and partners, offering solutions for testing, process development, and sample production.
