Call for abstracts

Call for abstracts is extended until 20th of February

Main abstract topics

We proudly invite you to be a part of the 14th ESCC with an oral or poster presentation focused on one of the following topics:
A. Comminution and classification of industrial minerals, cement, ores and secondary materials
Topic chairs: Philipp M. Fleiger, Jan Rosenkranz
The topic covers advances made in the field of size reduction and classification of particles in the size region commonly related to minerals processing, from primary crushing to milling, i.e. from rocks to 10 micron. Contributions may be focused on applied modelling and simulation of machines, dynamic simulation, flow sheet considerations, energy efficiency and optimization etc. Specially addressed industries include the Mining industry, Industrial Minerals, Cement and Secondary materials.
B. Grinding, dispersion and classification of fine particles
Topic chairs: Frank Müller (BASF), Arno Kwade
 The topic covers advances made related to processing of organic or in-organic fine particles, usually from mm or µm to the sub-micron size region. Contributions may be focused on fine grinding, wear, modelling, grinding media, characterization, dispersion and nano-milling etc. Specially addressed industries include Food, Chemistry and Pharmaceutical industries.
C. Fundamentals, modelling and simulation
Topic chairs: Marcello Tavares, Mojtaba Ghadiri 
The topic covers advances made related to fundamental understanding of particle behavior especially when subjected to stress conditions. Contributions may be focused on fracture mechanics, breakage modelling, particle flow and transport modelling, classification physics, as well as plant and equipment simulation etc. 
D. Innovation and new technologies
Topic chairs: Hakan Benzer
The topic covers advances made related to new technologies, ideas and innovative solutions. Contributions may be focused on new machines and processes, non-mechanic comminution, novel characterization techniques, online measurement, new sorting techniques etc.
E. Industrial operation perspectives
Topic chairs: Magnus Evertsson
The topic covers specifically insights and case studies from industrial operations. Contributions may be focused on performance optimization, control strategies, energy and water management, mineralogical complexity, declining ore grades etc.
Unifying theme: Sustainability and energy efficiency
As a unifying theme across all topics we want to acknowledge the major challenges facing the industry related to energy efficiency and sustainability. The contribution does not have to be directly related to this topic however it is of value to include a discussion and perspective on how your work is connected to the challenges related to energy efficiency and sustainability (economy, society, environment).
