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.
IntegratedMinPro '22 is a new conference from MEI, and is sponsored by Promet101 and Hudbay Minerals, with Media Partner International Mining, and Industry Advocates the Coalition for Eco-Efficient Comminution (CEEC), Cornwall Mining Alliance and the Critical Minerals Association.
Over two days, June 13-14, this online event will feature papers from around the world, 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.
Included in the programme are two keynote presentations from well known figures in the industry. Elizabeth Lewis-Gray of Gekko Systems Integrated Mineral Processing, Australia, will discuss the critical need for accelerating innovation in the mining sector and Dr. Osvaldo Bascur, of OSB Digital LLC & SEEQ, USA, will discuss net metal production optimisation in the digital age.
On the final day there will be a 2-hour live panel discussion on the continuing evolution of mineral processing, chaired by Stuart Saich, of conference sponsor Promet 101.
The programme is now available for viewing and all presentations will be available on demand for 6 months after the event. Registration is open, and we look forward to your contribution to this important online conference.

I like the Title "IntegratedMinPro '22"--hope you include waste utilization/recovery of all values. You lined up experts and I wish your efforts all the success.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to revisit your blog of Monday, 28 May 2012! I was particularly taken by the topic "Is the text-book obsolete as a source of reference?" You made some salient observations about this then, and I am wondering whether your view on this may have evolved further over the past decade.
ReplyDeleteIt's many years since I used a text-book Franklin, so maybe the current academics and students are better placed to answer this. The 8th Edition of Mineral Processing Technology was, however, published after that blog post, and it is doing well, so I must assume that text books still have an important role to play.
DeleteThat makes sense to me. Perhaps the key is the level at which the text is aimed e.g., likely more useful for undergraduates than graduates... to provide an initial structure beyond which the student should be exploring other sources, and learning in more active modes.
DeleteAgreed
