Mineral Engineering Conference MEC2016

Mineral Engineering Conference MEC2016
25-28 September 2016, Swieradow-Zdroj, Poland
On behalf of the Organizing Committee and MEC Council we are glad to invite you to take part in the Mineral Engineering
Conference (MEC2016), which will be held September 25–28, 2016 in Bialy Kamien Hotel in Swieradow-Zdroj, Lower
Silesia, Poland.
MEC2016 is a joined conference consisting of XII International Conference on Non-Ferrous Ore Processing (ICNOP), XXI
International Conference of Mineral Processing, and LIII Symposium of Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing.
MEC2016 is organized by the Wroclaw University of Technology in cooperation with AGH University of Science and
Technology, Silesian University of Technology, Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals, KGHM Cuprum Research & Development
Centre and KGHM Polska Miedz S.A.
Scope of the conference
The annual meeting goal is to promote effective collaboration between business and academia. You will have a great
opportunity to present and discuss theoretical ideas and their practical applications in all aspects of mineral processing and coal
preparation. The conference will cover the following topics:

Applied mineralogy

Automation and control of processes

Innovative construction of mineral processing machines and equipment

Minerallurgical separations (magnetic, electric, gravity separations and flotation, coagulation, agglomeration,
comminution, screening, dewatering, drying, sampling etc.)

Hydro and biohydrometallurgy

Modification of minerals properties

Recycling and mineral wastes

Environmental aspects of mineral processing.
Call for papers
The conference presentation can be delivered in either oral or poster form after acceptance by the Organizing Committee based
on either submitted abstracts or whole papers. The presentation should deal with widely understood mineral processing and
physicochemical bases of minerallurgical, biometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes and ecology issues. According to
the author(s) wish, we will printed in the Proceedings of the Mineral Engineering Conference MEC2016 either short abstract,
extended abstract, or full paper. The copyrights of the conference papers will belong to the authors, not to the Organizing
Committee, and hence they can be published again elsewhere.
Either short abstract, extended abstract or full paper should be submitted as a MS Word document via MEC2016 website
(www.mec2016.pwr.edu.pl). The deadline for submitting your contribution, which will be included in the Proceedings of the
Mineral Engineering Conference MEC2016, is March 1, 2016. Confirmation of acceptance will be sent to the authors before
May 15, 2016.

MEC2016 venue, accommodation
The MEC2016 will be held in Hotel & Medi-SPA Bialy Kamien (www.bialykamien.com) which is located just several
hundred meters from the Swieradow-Zdroj health resort. The complex is situated in a buffer zone of the picturesque Bialy
Kamien mountain, ensuring peace and beautiful sights. Swieradow–Zdroj is worth seeing in every season. In spring, summer
and fall, we would be enchanted by the beauty of nature, tourists trails, cycling tracks, including the 80 km long Singltrek
connecting Poland and the Czech Republic. In winter, Swieradow-Zdroj, possessing the most modern gondola lift in Poland,
becomes a resort for the amateurs of snow frenzy. These qualities resulted in winning the 1 st place at the prestige competition
in Poland - SPA Prestige Awards 2013, category Hotel SPA & Wellness.
Bialy Kamien Hotel**** will be available for accommodation during MEC2016. The Hotel offers rooms with different
standards and prices. All participants are requested to choose a room and book it via the MEC2016 website. The
accommodation fee will be paid directly to Bialy Kamien Hotel.
