Introduction
Hello, my name is Jaehoon Lee, and I have been pursuing my master’s degree at SRPL since 2024.
I have a strong interest in hydrometallurgical processes for nickel extraction, and prior to joining the program, I gained practical experience in solvent extraction (SX) at a research institute, where I worked on organic-solvent–based separation and purification techniques.
Recently, my research has focused on the acid leaching of nickel laterite ores. I am investigating various conditions to improve the efficiency of valuable metal leaching and recovery, with the aim of contributing to more economical and sustainable metal production technologies.
