The Future of Comminution

Comminution '25 is now only 6 weeks away, and apart from a packed 4-day programme, there are two high-profile workshops taking place on Sunday March 30th at the Vineyard Hotel, immediately prior to the conference welcoming reception.

For those interested in ultrafine grinding, conference sponsor Glencore Technology is offering a 2-hour workshop on "Expanding the capability and application of the IsaMill" where the Glencore Technology team will lead interactive sessions to help delegates make the right choices for their unique processing needs. 

On the same day, the industry advocate for Comminution '25, CEEC International: Coalition for Minerals Efficiency, is hosting a full day workshop on "The Future of Comminution."  This interactive session will bring together industry experts, researchers, and technology innovators to discuss the latest advancements in comminution and energy efficiency.

Facilitated by Janine Herzig and Grant Ballantyne, one of the conference keynote speakers, the workshop will feature keynote presentations from Malcolm Powell and Bern Klein, also a keynote speaker at Comminution '25. They will provide insights into emerging and existing comminution technologies. The event will focus on ranking technologies based on their potential impact on energy efficiency, water conservation, and tailings management, forming a roadmap for the future of mineral processing.

With conference sponsor Metso as the main sponsor of the workshop, there will also be discussions on real-world applications of the CEEC Energy Curves tool, as well as interactive sessions aimed at mapping technologies across three key horizons: Now (proven technologies), New (in testing phases), and Next (under active research).

Attendance is free, and participants will have the opportunity to contribute to shaping industry priorities.
