Comminution '10



Vineyard Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa

April 13-16, 2010

This, the 7th International Comminution Symposium (Comminution '10) is organised by Minerals Engineering International and sponsored by Sigmund Lindner. Media sponsors are The Gold & Minerals Gazette & Industrial Minerals.

Themes

Comminution '10 will have the following themes:

The drive to lower energy consumption

Designing and operating energy efficient circuits

Can we really grind with less energy?

Moving beyond size reduction

multi-component modelling

predicting liberation

The squeeze on mills

Are HPGR’s pushing down into primary milling territory?

Are stirred mills reaching up into secondary & tertiary mill territory?

Papers will be published as an unrefereed Proceedings on CD-ROM, and selected papers will be published, after peer-review, in a special Comminution issue of Minerals Engineering journal.

Organisers

Comminution '10 is organised by Minerals Engineering International (MEI) in consultation with Prof Malcolm Powell.

In 1997 Prof Malcolm Powell formed the comminution group at the University of Cape Town, following the suggestion of Prof Cyril O'Connor (director of the Mineral Processing Research Unit MPRU) -after a memorable MEI conference in Cornwall. From January 2007 Malcolm has joined the JKMRC of the University of Queensland to take up the Alban Lynch Chair in Sustainable Comminution.

Malcolm specialises in mill liner design, charge motion and DEM modelling, SAG mill modelling, and classification, with a strong link into applying the research knowledge in extensive site work and consulting to industry. The work aims to link fundamental research into applied outputs through the development of practical and robust process models.
