INTRODUCTION
Sustainable Pyrometallurgy - Surviving Today and Thriving Tomorrow
The Southern African Pyrometallurgy Conference series has covered a range of themes since the first edition in 2006. The Southern African Pyrometallurgy 2024 International Conference will structure a programme which covers crucial aspects of this continually evolving and exciting field towards sustainable pyrometallurgy. It is envisaged as an international conference on pyrometallurgy with a Southern African flavour.
Many new developments have taken place in southern African Pyrometallurgical plants since the previous conferences of this series, and it is hoped that this event will provide an update on operational developments.
The conference will cover a wide spectrum of activities within pyrometallurgy. Contributions are anticipated from operating plants, universities, research organisations and engineering companies, so that the full spectrum of pyrometallurgical activities can be covered with a special focus on decarbonisation, energy and resource efficiency and cleaner processes.
International participation is encouraged, with some broad overview papers covering international trends to be presented by experts in various topical technologies and commodities.
Keynote speakers
Emer. Prof. Peter Charles Hayes
University of Queensland
Prof Hayes has over 400 research publications in international journals and conferences, has published undergraduate texts on Extractive Metallurgy. Peter has over 45 years experience of teaching and curriculum development in extractive metallurgy.
Prof Hayes’ research encompass experimental studies on:
- High temperature phase equilibria
- Reaction kinetics and mechanisms in high temperature metallurgical systems.
He was the Foundation Director of the Pyrometallurgy Innovation Centre (PYROSEARCH) at The UNiveristy of Queensland and developed strong collaborations with the metallurgical industry. A feature of the research has been the focus on fundamental science in support of industrial process and process development.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
• Pyrometallurgists
• Process engineers
• Smelter managers
• Researchers
• Postgraduate students
• Academics.
TOPICS
- Sustainable, socially responsible, environmental, energy conscious smelting
