Metals play a significant role in industrialisation and technological advancements. Do you ever wonder then what life would be like without metal resources?

The depletion of natural rich ore deposits coupled with a fall in grade, a decline in productivity, rising operational and energy costs, concerns on sustainability and environmental impact of mining and metal related activities have been affecting the mining and metals industry in the recent past. Unless innovative methods that look at the smart use and recovery of metals from metal resources are developed, the world will be faced by a metal supply risk that will impact on future economic growth and technological development.

The SAIMM Hydrometallurgy Conference, 2016, will bring together internationally and locally recognized experts, industries, R&D establishments, academia as well as students to explore how future metal demands can be met through modern hydrometallurgical technologies that can:
☛ Assist in sustainable metal extraction
☛ Lower energy costs
☛ Minimise the impact on the environment

The conference will include but not be limited to the following topics:
☛ Research and development in hydrometallurgy (novel and optimised technologies)
☛ Processing of metallurgical and post-consumer waste
☛ Removal of metals from effluent streams
☛ Novel equipment and reagents in hydrometallurgical processing
☛ Optimisation of energy use and energy recovery
☛ Water management and utilisation in hydrometallurgical plants

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The conference will be of value to:
☛ Hydrometallurgical plant managers and metallurgists
☛ Equipment and reagent suppliers to the hydrometallurgical industry
☛ Hydrometallurgical technology development companies
☛ Mining industry consultants
☛ Research and academic personnel

 
EXHIBITION/SPONSORSHIP
Sponsorship opportunities are available. Companies wishing to sponsor or exhibit should contact the Conference Co-ordinator.

Through its Advanced metals Initiative (AMI) the South African Department of Science and Technology (DST) promotes research, development and innovation across the entire value chain of the advanced metals field. The goal of this initiative is to achieve sustainable local mineral beneficiation and to increase the downstream value addition of advanced metals in a sustainable manner. The achievement of this is envisioned to be through human capital development on post-graduate and post-doctoral level, technology transfer, localization and ultimately, commercialisation.

The AMI comprises four networks, each focussing on a different group of metals. These are Light metals, Precious metals, Nuclear materials and Ferrous and Base metals (i.e. iron, steel, stainless steels, superalloys, copper, brass, etc.).

The AMI FmDN 2016 Conference aims to bring together stakeholders from the mineral sector, academia, steel industry, international research institutions and government in order to share and debate the latest trends, research and innovations, specifically in the areas of energy, petrochemical, corrosion, materials for extreme environments and transport, local mineral beneficiation and advanced manufacturing related to these materials.

Keynote speakers to be invited include international specialists in the fields of ferrous metals, computational materials science, high temperature corrosion and mineral beneficiation.

The Ferrous and Base metals Development Network (FmDN) of the DST's Advanced metals Initiative (AMI) programme will host the AMI's annual conference in 2016.  The conference seeks to share insight into the state of R&D under the AmI-FmDN programmes and explore and debate the following broad themes:
◊ Development of high performance ferrous and base metal alloys for application in the energy and petrochemical
   industries
◊ Development of corrosion resistant ferrous and base metal alloys
◊ Development of lightweight and/or durable steels for cost-effective transportation and infrastructure, and
◊ Panel discussions on possible future value-adding R&D programmes under FmDN within the South African
   National Imperatives.
