Physical Separation '13 is organised by Minerals Engineering International (MEI). Media sponsors are International Mining and Industrial Minerals.
Themes of Precious Metals '12
Although there is much current emphasis on the chemical methods of mineral separation – flotation, hydrometallurgy, and bioleaching, the physical separation methods are ubiquitous, and there is no mining operation in the world which does not make use of the density differences between solids and liquids.
Whether it be gravity concentration, classification or dewatering, the principles of separation are essentially the same and this, the 3rd Physical Separation conference, will bring together researchers and operators who have common interests in:
- Gravity concentration methods - single and multi-G separators and dense medium separation
- Classification techniques - hydrocyclones, air classifiers etc.
- Solid-Liquid Separation - thickeners, clarifiers etc.
- Papers dealing with magnetic separation, and electronic sorting, often utilised in conjunction with gravity concentration, are also welcome.
- Microwave technology. There are many aspects of mineral processing where the use of microwaves has potential and papers dealing with the enhancement of physical processes by microwaves are encouraged.
Cornwall, the “birthplace of modern mining”, is an appropriate place to hold such an event, as this was the first place in the world where physical separation methods were practiced on a large scale, and the programme will include a visit to the historic Camborne-Redruth copper and tin mining district, where ruins of 19th century ‘dressing floors’ can be explored.
Call for Papers
Papers are invited for presentation at Physical Separation '13. All papers must be written and presented in English, the official language of the conference.
Abstract Submission
Short abstracts, of no more than 150 words, should be sent to Dr. Barry Wills by email (bwills@min-eng.com) by the end of December 2012.
Draft Papers
If accepted, draft papers will be required. These will form the unrefereed Proceedings, which will be available to delegates on a CD-ROM at the conference. Copyright on these papers belongs to the individual authors, and not to MEI.
Final Papers
Final papers should be submitted no later than one month after the end of the conference. Authors have two options:
1. Submission to Minerals Engineering, the world's number 1 journal in mineral processing and extractive metallurgy, with the highest impact factor, and rated a maximum A* by the Australian Research Council. These will be refereed, and, if accepted, published in a special Computational Modelling issue of the journal. Corresponding authors will receive one complimentary copy of this special issue. All other delegates may purchase the special issue from Elsevier Science Ltd at a discounted rate.
2. Submission to the Journal of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM). The Journal is a recognized Department of Higher Education and Training accredited journal, with ABC accreditation by the Audit Bureau of Circulation of South Africa. The content of the Journal comprises Transactional and Journal papers. Transactional papers are of a very technical nature and are subject to stringent reviewing procedures while journal papers are of a more general and practical nature and go through a less severe reviewing process. Papers can be sent to the SAIMM publications coordinator, Caron Lance at caron@saimm.co.za.
