Talent Chiwariro

Devoted individual with expertise in mineral processing. I am interested in solving industrial problems and continuously seeking new methods to optimize the current processing methods. Current I am looking to secure a graduate position for 2024 as I am finishing my studies this year. This position will allow me to use my knowledge and skills in assisting the company production processes

Performed fire assaying on geological samples to determine precious metal content. Ran furnaces, weighed samples, and analyzed results. Executed wet chemical techniques like gravimetric analysis, volumetric titrations, and precipitation.

Gained experience with analytical balances, burettes, pipettes, and stoichiometric calculations. Operated instrumentation including atomic absorption spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, and infrared spectroscopy for elemental analysis. Developed quantitative calibration and sampling skills.

Conducted mineral processing experiments using lab-scale crushers, pulverizers, flotation machines, and leaching columns. Tracked metallurgical balance and recovery. Carried out water quality tests by ICP-OES to analyze contaminants.

Complied with rigorous sampling and acid digestion preparation methods. Synthesized inorganic compounds and examined them under polarizing light microscopy and SEM/EDS to determine optical properties and morphology. Maintained detailed lab notebooks recording all procedures, measurements, calculations, and results.

Developed exacting documentation abilities. Strictly followed laboratory safety protocols for hazardous chemicals and high-temperature equipment. Demonstrated commitment to safe practices.
