Record number of abstracts results in exciting programme for Flotation '19

A record number of papers has been submitted to Flotation '19, which will be held at the Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town in November, and the provisional programme is now available
The Vineyard Hotel Conference Centre
The programme truly reflects the progressive evolution of flotation, the mining industry's most ubiquitous and important technology. From its inception at the beginning of last century to treat fine-grained sulphide minerals, developments in reagents and machines have led to flotation being established as the standard method of concentrating an increasingly wide range of minerals.
As we move into the 4th Industrial Revolution and the era of electric cars and 5G, never before has there been such a demand on the supply of finite resources, and flotation will play a very important future role in the quest for a circular economy, not only in treating primary ores, but also in secondary resources such as mine waste.
Around 150 papers will be presented in November, in short oral, and poster presentations, in two discrete symposia, Fundamentals during the first two days and Applications over the final two days.
Although a very intensive programme, there will be, as always, plenty of time for networking with the world's leading practitioners, at the late afternoon sundowners, and the conference dinner at the nearby Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, as well as in the long coffee and lunch breaks in the exhibition and poster areas.

Networking at Flotation '17
Registration for the conference is now open and we look forward to hosting another successful event in Cape Town, and thank once more our sponsors for their support.
