Scope |
The Hydrometallurgy technical theme is one of four technical themes for Extraction 2018 and consists of three symposia:
C-1: Hydrometallurgy 2018 (the symposium)
C-2: The Gordon Ritcey Symposium: Advances in Hydrometallurgical Solution Purification Separations
C-3: Processing of Critical Materials
The Processing of Critical Materials symposium will primarily focus on the processing of Critical, Green and/or Strategic metals (conveniently grouped under “Critical Metals”). With a global push into new green and high tech technologies, it is important to gather information related to the metallurgical processing of metals required for such technologies. A secondary focus will be on end-user information.
This symposium will focus on (but not limited to) on the following groups of metals:
- Lithium
- Graphite
- Scandium
- Rare earth elements (REE)
- Cobalt
- Gallium/germanium/indium
- Vanadium |
