The International Symposium on Zinc and Lead Metallurgy aims to bring together experts from industry, engineering firms and academia to discuss the latest developments in the metallurgical processing of zinc and lead. The symposium, which will build on the success of the Zinc and Lead Processing meeting held 10 years ago in Canada, as part of COM1998 in Calgary, will focus on the hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy of zinc and lead.

PROCEEDINGS

The proceedings of the Zinc and Lead Metallurgy Symposium will be published in book and CD form and will be available at the meeting. All papers will be refereed and edited prior to final acceptance and publication.

SHORT COURSE

This Zinc and Lead Metallurgy short course will present an overview of the principles, process fundamentals, recent advances and industrial practices related to the extractive metallurgy and the refining of lead and zinc.  The course content will complement the technical presentations given in the Zinc and Lead Metallurgy symposium, and will be presented by recognized leaders in this field.

Short Course Topics and Instructors:

  • Introduction to Zinc and Lead Processes
  • Lead Smelting (G. Richards)
  • Roasting and Smelting of Zinc and Pb/Zn Concentrates (TBA)
  • Ausmelt (S. Hughes)
  • Zinc Calcine Leaching (TBA)
  • Zinc Pressure Leaching (M. Collins)
  • Zinc Atmospheric Leaching (TBA)
  • Solvent Extraction of Zinc (J. Harlamovs)
  • Purification and Impurity Control (G. Houlachi)
  • Electrolysis of Lead and Zinc (E. Guerra and M. Moats)
  • Recycling (L. Southwick)
  • Environmental Aspects (G. Monteith)
TECHNICAL TOUR

Post conference tours to major metallurgy facilities in Western Canada will be organized. The available tours will include one-day trips to the Teck Cominco zinc and lead smelting and refining complex at Trail, British Columbia, and the zinc pressure leaching and electrowinning facilities of HudBay Minerals Inc. in Flin Flon, Manitoba.
