Dr Bhondayi is currently a senior lecturer in the Institute for Development of Energy for African Sustainability (IDEAS). He is the head of Comminution research group within the institute. He supervises six masters students.
Mineral beneficiation by physical methods, understanding and improving recovery across the froth with froth flotation, understanding factors affecting froth recovery, developing novel methods to quantify froth phase sub-processes including bubble sizes, bubble coalescence. Work also include modelling of froth phase in mineral flotation systems and application of flotation to non-conventional processes.
Current research includes: understanding selectivity across the pulp-froth interface, froth selectivity to coarse particles. Application of oil agglomeration and froth flotation to upgrade tyre pyrolysis char. Coarse particle flotation. Resources of interests include gold, PGM, Coal and base metals etc.
