HAVE YOU BOOKED THE DATE IN YOUR DIARY TO ATTEND?

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
