This, the 7th International Symposium on Biohydrometallurgy (Biohydromet '14), is organised by MEI with Prof Sue Harrison, Dr Patrick d'Hugues and Dr Chris Bryan.
Biohydromet '14 will focus on the latest developments in the field of biohydrometallurgy: the development, optimisation and application of integrated biomining process operations for mineral ores, including low grade and complex ores; the microbiology of biomining and the application of biohydrometallurgy to novel resources (such as mine and electronic wastes) and the (bio)remediation of mining-impacted environments.
1. Biomining Process Development:
•Development and optimisation of biohydrometallurgy processes, including sub-processes of biohydrometallurgy, reactor systems, hydrodynamics and modelling
•Associated Unit operations, Up- and Downstream processing (including waste management) etc.
2. The Microbiology of Biomining:
•Microbial ecology and succession, both description and kinetics
•Microbial consortia and bioprospecting,
•Certain fundamental aspects.
3. Biohydrometallurgy Applications:
•Biomining (i.e. Bioleaching, Biooxidation) applications - both heap and tank
•Novel and potential resources (e.g. electronic and other metallic wastes)
•Bioremediation applications (e.g. the treatment, prevention and prediction of AMD, metal recovery from wastes etc.)
•Other biotechnologies in mining and metallurgical industries.
Call for Papers
Papers are invited for presentation at Biohydrometallurgy '14. 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 by the end of December 2013.
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 in order to be considered for the special issue of 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 Comminution 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.
