Announcement and Call for Paper
Since launched in 1993 by the Florida Institute of Phosphate Research (FIPR), this series of international conference on phosphate beneficiation has become the world’s prestigious and highest quality conference on phosphate mineral processing. The first four conferences were held in Florida, USA, while the fifth conference took place in Brazil. Our next conference, Beneficiation of Phosphates VI, is scheduled for March 6-11, 2011 at the “Capital of Phosphate”, the perennially blooming Kun Ming city of China.
Beneficiation of Phosphates VI is again organized by FIPR, and jointly undertaken by the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration, China Chemical Mining Association, FIPR, Yunnan Phosphate Chemical Group Co., LTD, and Wuhan Institute of Technology. An industry exhibit will be one of the new features of this conference, where phosphate companies, reagent and equipment suppliers, as well as interested research institutions can reserve a booth to showcase their products and services.
Abstracts can be submitted online by clicking on Abstract Submission
Deadline for abstract submission: August 15, 2010
Deadline for full paper submission: December 15, 2010
Technical Program
The technical program will be consisted of eight (8) technical sessions, and nine (9) topical workshops. The technical sessions will cover the following subjects:
- Sustainable development and the environmental issues
- Advances in reagents development
- New techniques and equipment in mineral processing
- Beneficiation of difficult-to-process phosphates
- Tailings disposal and utilization
