Graeme John JamesonAOFRSFAAFTSE(born 1936) is an engineer, professor and Director of the Centre for Multiphase Processes at theUniversity of Newcastle, Australia,in New South Wales, Australia.[1]He is notable for being the inventor of theJameson Cellmineral separation device, which he devised in the 1980s. The Jameson Cell uses bubbles to separate super fine particles during mineral processing.[2]It is based on thefroth flotationmineral separation process, first invented in 1905.[3][4][5]
In the coal industry alone, Jameson's cell has retrievedA$36 billion worth of export coal particles.[2]It is being used worldwide in the separation of coal, copper, lead, nickel, platinum, silver and zinc.[3]
