Call for Papers

Authors are invited to submit an abstract in English for each paper they wish to present. The abstract should include title, names and affiliations of authors (including e-mail address of the corresponding author) and 3 to 5 keywords. All submissions must be submitted online via the website and will be peer-reviewed. The abstract submission system will be available from 1 July 2011.

The conference will include, but not be limited to, technical sessions on the following topics:

Production of particles (crystallization, atomization, mechanical activation, synthesis in aerosol flame, sol-gel and microemulsion reactors)
Comminution (crushing, grinding, high energy milling, attrition and erosion)
Agglomeration (granulation, pelletization, briquetting, tableting, sintering)
Bulk powder handling (storage, dust collection and transportation)
Mixing, granular flow and fluidization
Roasting, combustion and smelting reduction
Solid-solid and solid-liquid separation (gravity, electrostatic, magnetic and flotation separation, filtration, drying, membrane separation, thickening)
Colloidal processing (dispersion, flocculation and rheology of suspensions)
Particle coating and surface modification
Packing and consolidation of particles in dry/wet conditions
Recycling and reclamation (electronic waste, tailings management, eco-cements)
Design of equipment handling powders, emulsions and aerosols
Modelling and simulation (CFD, DEM, population balances, molecular modelling, Monte Carlo)
Process optimization and advanced control (measurement, automation and soft-sensors)
Process Analytical Technologies (PAT), in-process particle characterization techniques
