About CSIR-IMMT
CSIR-Institute of Minerals & Materials Technology, BhubaneswarCSIR-Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology (IMMT) was established on 13.04.1964 as Regional Research Laboratory, Bhubaneswar in the eastern part of India under the aegis of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi. It was renamed in 2007 with a renewed research focus and growth strategy to be a leader in the areas of mineral & material resource engineering. The institute has expertise in conducting basic research and technology oriented programs in a wide range of subjects to address the R&D problems of mining, mineral and metals industries and ensure their sustainable development. For the last one decade, the main thrust of R&D at CSIR-IMMT has been to empower Indian industries to meet the challenges of globalization by providing advanced and zero waste process know-how and consultancy services for commercial exploitation of natural resources through the public-private-partnership (PPP) approach. Today, CSIR-IMMT is the first choice for many mineral based industries. It is also carving out a niche in processing of advanced materials for greater value addition and working on resource use efficiency of critical raw materials.
The Institute has excellent R&D facilities accross the complete value chain from minerals to materials including handling of waste & recovery of values from secondary sources. It covers:
- Mineral processing
- Extractive Metallurgy
- Advanced Processess for special materials
- Environment & Sustainability
- Design & Enginnering to address the needs of industries in solving their problems with an interdisciplinary as well as holistic approach
