}}Graeme John Jameson (born 1936) is an Australia engineer who is a professor and Director of the Centre for Multiphase Processes at the University of Newcastle, Australia, in New South Wales, Australia.{{Google scholar id}} He is notable for being the inventor of the Jameson Cell mineral separation device, which he devised in the 1980s. The Jameson Cell uses bubbles to separate super fine particles during mineral processing. It is based on the froth flotation mineral separation process, first invented in 1905.[http://www.newcastleinnovationminerals.com.au/featured-research/particle-processing-bubbles#.ViclK34rLs1 Particle processing with bubbles ][http://trove.nla.gov.au/people/1476331?c=people Jameson, Graeme John, AO, FAA, FTSE (1936-)] Trove profile
In the coal industry alone, Jameson's cell has retrieved {{AUD}}36 billion worth of export coal particles. It is being used worldwide in the separation of coal, copper, lead, nickel, platinum, silver and zinc.
Education
In 1960 Jameson received a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), and in 1963 a PhD{{cite thesis|degree=PhD|publisher=University of Cambridge|url=https://copac.jisc.ac.uk/id/35300561?style=html|title=The behaviour of a bubble in a vertically oscillating liquid, and allied topics|first= Graeme John|last=Jameson|date=1963|id={{EThOS|uk.bl.ethos.605048}}|website=jisc.ac.uk|oclc=885437848}} from the University of Cambridge.
