MINERAL PROCESSING SYSTEMS - 2027
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR
May 10-14, 2027
at McGill University, Montreal, QC
Course/ Seminar Leaders:
Kristian Waters, McGill University
Rob McIvor, Metcom Technologies, Inc.
The Department of Mining and Materials Engineering at McGill University will be running a Short Course on Mineral Processing Systems in May 10-14, 2027. This 5-day seminar will review fundamentals, equipment and current practices.
Some of the topics include: applied mineralogy, AG/SAG milling, crushers and crushing, grinding and classification, high pressure grinding, fine grinding, sensors in classification, grinding circuit models, flotation physics and chemistry, collector and frother chemistries, flotation machine diagnostics, flotation banks and circuits, gas dispersion sensors, gold processing, geometallurgy, design of experiments, particle characterization, mineral economics, metallurgical accounting, developments in process control, and environmental issues.
The seminar will benefit both experienced engineers and those new to the field.
The seminar will be held on the McGill Downtown Campus and the seminar room will be announced later.
