Announcing Mineral Processing Circuits '26

Mineral Processing Circuits '26 is actually the 2nd in the MEI series, the first, Mill Circuits '24, being held in Cape Town in June of this year. The title has been amended to clarify the scope of the conference, which is wider than just grinding mill circuits as many assumed.

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.

This conference invites papers on new approaches to mineral processing circuits, whether through design, modelling, optimisation or operation. This included integration of unit operations (e.g. comminution and flotation), novel flowsheets that incorporate new equipment and new approaches to optimising circuit design, so if you are involved in any of these areas, then do consider submitting an abstract to the conference. Final papers, which are invited after the conference, will be considered for publication in a special issue of Minerals Engineering after peer-review.

Cape Town's Vineyard Hotel Conference Centre provides an ideal opportunity for exhibiting your products and services, and 5 booths are available for rental in the coffee and lunch break area. If you decide to exhibit you may also be interested in our sponsorship package, which will give you much exposure before and during the conference.

MEI Conferences have the reputation of being relaxed, informal events, the sundowners in the Vineyard gardens providing ideal networking opportunities at the end of the daily sessions.

The venue for the conference dinner will be announced later but we can guarantee that it will be a very informal event.

Mineral Processing Circuits '24 immediately precedes Physical Separation '26 and delegates attending both will receive discounted registration rates. Keep following the blog for regular updates!
