INTRODUCTION

The most important technological event on minerals processing and extractive metallurgy held every two years. It gathers foreign and local professionals to make possible the transfer of technology for the mining and metallurgical sector in Peru.

The main topic for 2010 event will be related to the role played by innovation in the minerals treatment and metal production.

Authors from different publications and countries will present their lectures and discuss methodological aspects of innovation.

OBJECTIVE

• To provide the mechanisms for processes and operations optimization used in mineral treatment and metal production.

• To offer the participants the recent technological innovations applied to mineral processing and extractive metallurgy.
  

TOPICS

• Hydrometallurgical processes
• Alternatives to traditional mineral processing
• Advances in mineral grinding
• The mineral processing and its sustainability
• The state of the art of ore flotation
• Future Technologies
• New processes for obtaining sulfuric acid
• Water treatment

ADDRESSED TO

• Mining and metallurgic managers and superintendents.
• Metallurgical, chemical, mining, and environmental engineers.
• Postgraduate students in areas as metallurgy, chemistry and chemical or metallurgical engineering.
• Investors in mining and metallurgy projects.
• People interested in the development of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy.

INTENSIVE COURSES

• Kinetics and thermodynamics applied to hydrometallurgical processes, by Dr. David Dreisenger, University of British Columbia, Canada.
• Theory of mineral flotation and differentiation between sulfides and oxides flotation, developed by Dr. Sergio Castro of the Universidad de Concepción, Chile.

The courses will last eight hours with theory-practice sessions. Capacity is limited to 20 participants. Participants of the Symposium will have a discount on the cost. Registration fee includes course certificate, coffee break and lunch.
