Another eminent keynote speaker for Flotation '15

We are pleased to announce that we have already received a record number of abstracts for Flotation '15 in Cape Town in November, and that 22 exhibition booths have been reserved, leaving only two available at the moment.

We are also delighted to welcome Dr. Janusz Laskowski who will deliver a keynote lecture Anisotropic surface-property minerals in flotation circuits.

Dr. Laskowski, Professor Emeritus of mineral processing at the University of British Columbia, Canada, obtained all his degrees, including Ph.D., from the Silesian University of Technology in Poland. His education also included one year stay as a postgraduate student with Department of Colloid Chemistry, Lomonosov University, Moscow, and one year stay as a post- doctoral fellow with Dr. J.A. Kitchener at Imperial College, London.

In 1979, he chaired the 13th Int. Mineral Processing Congress in Warsaw. In 2002 he started his own research company, Laskowski Research Inc.

Dr. Laskowski was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award of the International Mineral Processing Council at the 24th International Mineral Processing Congress in Beijing (2008), and is a recipient of the Antoine Gaudin Award (2011).

I would also like to thank all our sponsors, also a record number, for their support of what is likely to be MEI's biggest conference to date.
