Scope of the conference
The next MEC2024 Conference is organized as a connected conference consisting of the International Conference on Non-ferrous Ore Processing (ICNOP), the International Conference of Mineral Processing and the Symposium on Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing.
The MEC 2024 Conference is organized by Association of Mining Engineers and Technicians in cooperation with Silesian University of Technology, Wroclaw University of Technology, AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, KGHM CUPRUM Research and Development Center, Lukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals in Gliwice, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and Association of Non-ferrous Metals Engineers and Technicians.
Topics of the conference
The annual minerallurgical community aims to promote effective cooperation between science and business. Participation in the Conference provides a great opportunity to present and discuss the results of theoretical research and their practical applications in all aspects of mineral engineering. The MEC2024 conference covers the following topics:
- resources recycling and recovery
- analytical techniques and applied mineralogy
- automation and process control sampling
- comminution, classification and sorting
- separation (magnetic, electric, gravity, froth flotation)
- hydro and biohydrometallurgy
- extractive metallurgy
- modification of mineral properties
- environmental aspects of mineral processing
- other mineral processing related subjects
Call for papers
The conference presentation can be delivered in either oral or poster form after acceptance by the Organizing Committee. The presentation should deal with widely understood mineral processing, recycling of raw materials and physicochemical aspects of minerallurgical, biometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes and ecology issues related to the scope of the conference. Selected abstracts from MEC2024 will be selected for publication (after acceptance by the journal) in the International Journal of Coal Science & Technology (IF: 8.3, Elsevier) free of charge. Abstracts of all presentations will be gathered and distributed in an electronic form among conference participants. Full participation includes up to 2 abstracts in the Conference proceedings and allows two oral presentations + one poster presentation. Young scientists (below 35 years of age) will be awarded for best paper and poster!!
We encourage you to submit paper proposals in the form of abstracts and full articles. Please send abstracts in Polish and English, containing the title and authors, to https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/75882/submitter.
