Conference Proceedings
ICAM 2008 - Ninth International Congress for Applied Mineralogy
The ICAM series has become a very important quadrennial event for the applied
mineralogy fraternity to share information and new developments, this conference
follows on from the previous inaugural meeting which was held in Johannesburg,
South Africa in 1981.
This ninth conference carried on the ICAM tradition with a diverse but
concise series of themes across the field of applied mineralogy, including
environmental and medical mineralogy, geometallurgy and process mineralogy, and
conventional ceramics and construction materials. Application driven automated
quantitative mineralogy was one of the main themes of the conference and
explored existing technologies and innovations which are currently under
development. This is a range of topics that will contribute to the shared
knowledge of exciting research and current developments within the field.
The profession of applied mineralogy is in great demand. Universities and
research centres are under pressure to produce urgently needed engineers and
scientists, as well as new technologies. New tools and methods are being
developed to help the mining industry recover more metals, reduce operating and
capital costs and minimise environmental and social impact. This volume reviews
the current state of development in these areas.
