Lab infrastructure and study environments on Swedish School of Mines
The Swedish School of Mines is characterized by several large and well-equipped laboratories.
The Mining and Civil Engineering Lab is Luleå University of Technology's largest laboratory with a wide range of activities.
The laboratory for process metallurgy has equipment for both pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical research.
Unique research instrument for process metallurgy
Scanning Electron Microscopy Lab - Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is a technique where an electron beam in a vacuum environment is focused on a solid sample surface. The electrons in the beam interact with electrons in the sample, generating different types of signal that can be detected and provide information about the topography and chemical composition of the sample surface.
EPOS, the European Plate Observing System, is a multidisciplinary, distributed research infrastructure that facilitates the integrated use of data, data products and facilities from the solid earth science community in Europe.
Lab for the recovery of critical raw materials.
Lab for Laser-Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS).
Mineral technology laboratory for particle analysis
Micro X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (µ-XRF) is a powerful analytical technique that allows researchers to determine the elemental composition of materials with high resolution.
Virtual Reality Lab - The VR studio, which has two 4K projectors, is used by researchers and students in fields such as ore geology and mining and quarrying technology.
