IMPC Mineral Processing Education ROADMAP

As has been previously reported the Commissions established by the Council are responsible for convening Workshops at International Mineral Processing Congresses. These Workshops have led to the publication of Proceedings often in the form of a Monograph. The Education Commission produced the first of these in 2013 based on the deliberations which took place at a Special Workshop held during the XXVI IMPC in New Delhi in 2012. This can be found at http://www.creativeseed.co.za/clients/IMPC/FINAL_IMPC_Book.pdf

Latest Publication: February 2018
IMPC Mineral Processing Education ROADMAP (1.2mb)
Diana Drinkwater, Chair, IMPC Education Commission.
This second in the series will be launched in March 2018 at a special event in Melbourne.

The Council wishes to express its sincere appreciation to Diana Drinkwater, the Chair of the Education Commission, for her tireless efforts to get this monograph published as well as all her fellow authors for their individual contributions to this publication which will undoubtedly make a most significant contribution to the education of future generations of minerals processing practitioners.

AusIMM Bulletin – Paper by Diana Drinkwater on her Commission’s work

What should be in the Mineral Processing curriculum?

Global study of pathways to the mineral processing profession

The question of who can call themselves a metallurgist or a mineral process engineer can spark some very interesting and occasionally heated discussions. We are a little different from our colleagues in mining engineering and geology, most of whom achieve their professional status via university programs called ‘mining engineering’ or ‘geology’. We all know a metallurgist or mineral processor when we see one, yet we frequently struggle when asked to provide a simple definition of what exactly the profession encompasses. It can be even more challenging if we are asked for advice on the ‘best’ pathway to the profession. Go to the AusIMM bulletin website, to see the complete article >>

Proceedings

The International Mineral Processing Council is pleased to announce that it has concluded an arrangement with OneMine.org to host henceforth the Proceedings of all Congresses.

Initially all those Congress Proceedings which are in electronic form (Cape Town-2003, Istanbul – 2006, Beijing – 2008, Brisbane – 2010 and New Delhi -2012) will be loaded on to the site beginning with the last-mentioned.

The IMPC website will host the Table of Contents of all these Congresses. Further details can be found here.
