Announcing an exciting new MEI Conference

As the demand for resources continues to increase, and amidst growing challenges of processing complex ores while minimising energy and environmental impact, we are entering an exciting time for innovation in mineral processing. Innovation in individual unit operations is complemented by innovative approaches to the entire mineral processing flowsheet, from rearrangement of an existing circuit to a new approach for a greenfield development.

Integration, Optimisation & Design of Mineral Processing Circuits (IntegratedMinPro '21) invites papers on new approaches to mineral processing circuits, whether through design, modelling, optimisation or operation. This includes integration of unit operations (e.g. comminution and flotation), novel flowsheets that incorporate new equipment and new approaches to optimising circuit design.

This new MEI conference will cover:

• Optimisation and integration across different unit operations
• The integration of new equipment into existing flowsheets
• Circuit layout design; modelling and optimisation
• Equipment selection methods

The 2-day conference will be held at the National Maritime Museum, in Falmouth, Cornwall, from June 10-11, 2021, and will be immediately preceded by Physical Separation '21 at the same venue, the 7th in the series but now a 3-day event.

Falmouth, Cornwall

If you would like to present papers at either, or both, of these events, then short abstracts should be submitted by the end of 2020.  As with all MEI Conferences, draft papers will be required for the conference proceedings, and final papers should be submitted after the conferences for peer-review for publication in Minerals Engineering as Virtual Special Issues.

Updates on the conferences will be at #PhysicalSeparation21 and #IntegratedMinPro21
