CSRP'08 Conference, 18-19 November 2008

[ delivering sustainable solutions to the minerals and metals industries ]

The Centre for Sustainable Resource Processing (CSRP) is hosting its second annual conference. This year’s theme is delivering sustainable solutions to the minerals and metals industries.

The conference provides an opportunity for researchers, industry and students of the CSRP community to showcase their achievements and contributions towards our common goals.

With a common thread of Sustainable Development, presentations will cover the following key CSRP research areas:

• CO2 Breakthrough in Metal Production
• Energy Efficient Liberation and Comminution
• Bauxite Residue Utilisation
• Geopolymers
• Zero Waste and Minor Elements
• Education and People Resources

The conference is open to all CSRP participants.
