Final calls for abstracts for Physical Separation '24 and Mill Circuits '24

This is a reminder that if you would like to present papers at Physical Separation '24 and/or Mill Circuits '24 the deadline for submission of short abstracts is the end of this month.

Physical Separation '24 is MEI's 8th Physical Separation conference and will be held at the Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town for the first time, from June 10th-12th.

The conference will bring together researchers and operators who have common interests in:

• Gravity concentration methods - single and multi-G separators and dense medium separation
• Classification techniques - hydrocyclones, air classifiers etc.
• Solid-Liquid Separation - thickeners, clarifiers etc.
• Electronic Sorting
• Magnetic and electrostatic separation
• Microwave technology.

The event will have an associated small exhibition and currently two booths are available for rental. We thank our sponsors, Capstone Copper and Comex Group, media partners International Mining and Minerals Engineering and industry advocate the Critical Minerals Association.

Mill Circuits '24 immediately follows Physical Separation '24, at the Vineyard Hotel and is MEI's first in what we hope will be an exciting new series. Sponsored by Capstone Copper, and with the same media partners and industry advocates as for Physical Separation '24, there will also be a small exhibition, for which there are 5 booths available at present.

This conference 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. The keynote lecture "Evolution to revolution? How can innovation in flotation technology deliver sustainable productivity, now and into the future?" will be given by Dariusz Lelinski,  Global Director, Flotation, FLSmidth, Salt Lake City, USA.

Abstracts should be submitted online to the website portals, Physical Separation '24 and Mill Circuits '24.
