MEI Online: MEI Conferences: Automated Mineralogy 08: Introduction

Home General Introduction Conference Programme Published Papers Delegate List Photos  

 

This, the 3rd International Symposium on Automated Mineralogy (Automated Mineralogy 08), was organised by Minerals Engineering International and was sponsored by Intellection, Xstrata Process Support, SGS Mineral Services and Bruker AXS. Media sponsors were the Gold & Minerals Gazette and International Mining.

Mineralogists are able to draw on a wide range of techniques which allow for the automated analysis of earth resource materials. These include optical, near infra-red, x-ray beam, laser beam, electron beam, and proton beam techniques, to name a few.

This conference brought together professionals concerned with the analysis and interpretation of mineralogical data using automated techniques, as well those involved with the development of hardware and software solutions to aid automated mineralogical analysis. Papers were invited on the following suggested topics:

  • reviews on existing automated techniques
  • new automated techniques
  • optical-based systems
  • electron-beam based systems
  • X-ray based system
  • software data processing packages in-stream, on-line, on-belt analysis
  • applications in the earth resources industries
  • process mineralogy case studies
  • sampling and sample preparation techniques
  • case studies

Past Conferences

"It was certainly one of the better conferences [Automated Mineralogy 06] I have attended over the years. I had a very productive time in Brisbane and made lots of useful contacts."
Mark Pownceby, CSIRO Minerals, Australia

".....Minerals Engineering Conferences can be strongly recommended to anyone who has a strong interest in Minerals Engineering. The mixture of theory and industrial practice and high quality papers gives them this distinction."
Prof. M.A. Reuter, Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands
