2019-2022: principal investigator VEGA 1/0196/19: „Effect of mineralogy, chemistry and surface properties of technological types of perlites on quality of expanded perlites and reduction in accumulation of fine perlite by-product by its conversion into zeolites and their environmental application”.

The project is focused on study of different technological types of perlites and fine perlite material, a by-product produced during perlite processing. The main goal is to better understand the effect of mineralogy, chemistry and surface properties of technological types of perlites on the quality of commercial products – expanded perlites and to minimize the accumulation of perlite by-product material and assess its possible environmental application. The outputs of the project may have a practical industrial application. The obtain results can be used to enhance the pre-treatment of perlite technological types and upgrade the current perlite expansion process. Implementation of these changes, may result in production of expanded perlites of higher quality at lower production costs, compared to the current commercial expansion technology. The conversion of perlite by-product into zeolites will minimize accumulation of by-product material and utilization of zeolites will have positive environmental effect.

2016-2020, investigator of the project APVV 15-0083 „Complex model of base and precious metal mineralisation at the Rozália mine in Hodruša - Hámre“.

Peter Koděra is principal investigator. The project deals with the only ore deposit actively mined in Slovakia that is exceptional by richness of ore and its structural position on subhorizontal veins in center of the Štiavnica stratovolcano caldera. Epithermal Pb-Zn-Au-Ag vein deposit at Rozália mine was studied in detail just in its western part, while for its eastern part which is being intensively mined already since 2008, there are missing basic data about structural position, mineralogy and alteration. Genesis of the deposit is neither sufficiently solved. The absence of this information causes problems in exploration for further occurrences of this type of mineralisation in the district and in processing of ore. The creation of a complex model of mineralisation, including 3D modelling of mining works, geology and distribution of useful metals at the deposit in GIS, will significantly contribute to formulation of genetic model and resource assessment and it will result in more effective exploration and mining activities at the deposit. Genetic model of this exceptional deposit will contribute to general understanding of genesis of epithermal systems.

2018-2022: investigator, project APVV-17-0317 "Antimony - a critical element and a hazardous contaminant affecting biodiversity at sites with extractive waste". Edgar Hiller is principal investigator. First analysis of critical raw materials was published in 2010. In this list it was identified 14 critical raw materials among them antimony. Critical raw materials have a high economic importance for the European Union combined with the high risks associated with their offer. Currently, there is no primary source of antimony production in the EU. Overall, the EU is a net importer Antimony ores and concentrates. Antimony also represented significant toxic contaminants occurring in Slovakia in all environmental compartments. In Slovakia, there were several significant deposits of antimony ores. They occurred primarily in three metallo-genetic areas: core mountains (Small Carpathians, Low Tatras), Spis - Gemer Ore Mountains, Central Slovakia and Eastern Slovakia Neovolcanites. The main objective of this project is to evaluate the potential of mining waste in abandoned deposits of Slovakia in terms of possible mining of antimony as critical raw materials for the European Union. Another important goal of the project is the definition of environmental and health risks associated with the use of mining waste as a raw material for obtaining Sb and proposes measures that should prevent negative impacts on the environment in the use of extractive waste. An important objective of the project is the study of microbiological waste and the storage of the potential microbiological methods (biomining) the extraction of Sb. One objectives is to determine the impact and the level of contamination on biodiversity at five abandoned Sb deposits. Within the molecular-genetic studium DNA information of higher organisms and microorganisms (method NGS) will be collected. Total content of PTTEs will be determined in each studied non-biological, biological and reference sample. Project will define PTTEs transfer from the contaminated environment into the selected groups of organisms (fungi, arthropods, fishes) as a potential sources of human intoxication.

2023-2026: principal investigator, project VEGA 1/0306/23: “The impact of individual oil sands properties (mineralogy, chemistry and surface properties) on solvent bitumen extraction.“ The Alberta oil sands represent an important source of bitumen on the planet. The oil companies invest a lot of money in more efficient extraction of bitumen from the oil sands. Although a number of factors are known to affect bitumen extraction, it is still unclear which factors are crucial and which are less important. Knowledge of key factors will allow a better understanding of the impact of individual oil sands properties (mineralogy, chemistry, surface properties) on bitumen extraction. One of the outputs important for oil companies will be a better prediction of the amount of bitumen extracted from different types of oil sands. The implementation of new findings into operation may contribute to the upgrade of the current technology used for oil sands processing and bitumen extraction. This will lead to more efficient oil sands management what reduces costs and increases profits of oil companies. Higher profits of oil companies will be the main driving force of modernization of current technology.
