The event aims to widen the scope of the comminution and classification field to include the fundamentals of breakage, advanced modelling of fine/coarse comminution and classification processes and their applications for various industries such as mineral processing, bio-refinery, food, pharmaceutical, chemical, electronic and materials industries with waste recycling. 

Topics

• Fundamentals of particle breakage
• Innovative methods for particulate characterization
• Coarse grinding and classification processes, especially for minerals, ores, cement and other materials
• Grinding, dispersing and classification of fine particles, micro- and nanomilling applied to pharmaceutical, chemical, material, and electronic industries
• Cell disintegration and recovery of high value-added products in biorefinery, green processes, food industries
• Comminution and separation in recycling industries and waste processing: plastic wastes, WEEE, MSW, construction and demolition wastes, agricultural wastes, used solar panels, used wind turbines, and other wastes
• Mechanochemical and mechanofusion processes, mechanical bulk and surface transformations, mechanical alloying
• Transport and process modelling across length scales (CFD, multiphase flow, DEM, PBM, …)
• Wear, erosion and product contamination
• Plant operation, innovations in milling and classification technologies including automation, machine learning, in line sensors, simulation of particle breakage and milling operations, either by physical, AI or hybrid models
• Control of milling and classification processes
