Hydrometallurgy is at the heart of sustainable mineral processing, driving innovation in the recovery of critical metals, resource efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Hydrometallurgy '27 is the 2nd in the MEI series, the first being in Adelaide in 2000. It aims to bring together researchers, industry leaders, and technology developers in hydro and biohydrometallurgy, to explore the latest advances in leaching, solvent extraction, ion exchange, electrowinning, process design, and waste management.
Dr Frank Crundwell, Director of CM Solutions Metlab, South Africa, a globally-recognised authority on mineral dissolution and leaching, has been appointed as advisory lead for the conference. "CM Solutions is delighted to contribute to this prestigious event" says Ben Knights, CM Solutions CEO. "The CM Solutions team has a reputation for its hydrometallurgy expertise, and Frank’s pioneering work has earned him international recognition. Frank’s guidance of the technical direction of this event will help contribute to the future of hydrometallurgy"
In 2021 Frank received the SME's Milton E. Wadsworth Metallurgy Award, which recognises distinguished contributions that advance understanding of the science and technology of non-ferrous chemical metallurgy and he was nominated on the basis of his work in hydrometallurgy, leaching and the development of the theory of dissolution.
Through keynote presentations, technical sessions, and networking opportunities, participants at Hydrometallurgy '27 will gain insights into emerging technologies and the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of hydrometallurgy.
Abstracts are invited for presentation at Hydrometallurgy '27 via the online portal by December 31st 2026.
