Prof. Jim Finch summarises Flotation '21

We are fortunate to have Prof. Jim Finch as a consultant to the MEI series of conferences. Jim is Emeritus Professor of Metallurgical Engineering at McGill University, Canada, and a recent recipient of the IMPC's Lifetime Achievement Award, among many other honours.

Jim presented an admirable opening keynote lecture at this month's Flotation '21 on the life and work of Prof. Graeme Jameson and has now kindly provided us with a 15 minute summary of the conference, which is now available on YouTube.

If you did not register for this 5 day conference, it is not too late. as the 105 presentations, covering the whole field of flotation, and the two panel discussions, are available on demand, as are the discussions on each presentation. 

The full programme and registration details can be viewed on the conference website. Prof Finch's breakdown of the presentations into subject areas can be seen below.

  1. Where else one can get a summary of the advancements in flotation - really appreciate Barry's/MEI's efforts on hosting these top notch conferences. Also, always a delight to listen to what Jim has to say - immensely valuable for everyone involved in the industry/academia alike.
