MEI Conferences: Final abstracts & Diary dates – Comminution, Sustainable Minerals, Physical Separation and Biohydromet

CEEC is pleased to share updates on Biohydromet ’18, Sustainable Minerals ’18, Comminution ’18 and Physical Separation ’19. We encourage you to add these to your diary, and consider presenting and attending.

These important conferences help the mining community share practical advances and case studies and tap into the latest thinking on emerging step-changes for miners from advanced research – with a strong focus on mineral processing options and applications.

Final call for abstracts: Biohydromet ’18 & Sustainable Minerals ’18

Don’t forget to submit your abstracts for MEI’s two conferences in Namibia in June 2018 – Biohydromet ’18 (9th International Symposium on Biohydrometallurgy) and Sustainable Minerals ’18 – by the end of the year. Papers will be peer-reviewed and considered for publication in special issues of Minerals Engineering.
