HYDROMETALLURGY (QVH6) is organized on 04. – 07. June 2012 on the occasion of
60. anniversary of Technical University of Košice. The main objective of the conference
will be the exchange of scientific and technical information in the field of applied
hydrometallurgic methods for extraction of metals and in the application of new
technologies in primary and secondary raw materials treatment.
Information concerning accommodation and conference program will follow in the
second circular.
Venue
Kosice (European Capital of Culture 2013) is the second largest city in the Slovak
Republic with a high concentration of industrial activities and human potential. It is located
in the eastern part of Slovakia, near the borders with Hungary (20 km), Ukraine (80 km)
and Poland (90 km).
It is a short distance from the High Tatras (110 km), Slovakia's highest mountains,
and the Spis Castle (70 km), the largest medieval castle in Europe. Other historical and
natural monuments in Kosice's proximity include the Krasna Horka Castle (70 km), the
Betliar Chateau (80 km), and the Jasov Cave (40 km). Nearby there are two historic towns
Bardejov (77 km) a Levoča (90 km), which are UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Kosice's convenient location made it an important stop along the trade routes in the
past and even in the present day Kosice is a key economic and travel hub, with the Kosice
International Airport and railroad connecting the city with the rest of the world.
The conference will take place in Herlany, 28 km from Kosice, famous for its cold
water geyser, one out of 4 in the world, which shoots water to a height of some 20 meters.
Conference Scope
Conference will focus on theoretical and practical aspects of hydrometallurgical
processes of primary and secondary raw materials treatment as well as solution purifying,
electrolysis etc. A special focus will be placed on environmental aspects and innovative
trends in metallurgical processes.
Topics will include
l Fundamental aspects: theory of hydrometallurgical processes, thermodynamics and
kinetics aspects of leaching, precipitations of metals from solutions, sorption and
desorption processes, biohydrometallurgy, cementation, electrolysis, etc.
l Technology: energy production and energy saving, new processes, intensification
processes, pilot plant technology and process technologies, process equipment, etc.
l Waste treatment using hydrometallurgical methods: reducing the amount of
industrial production wastes and their transformation into non-hazardous form, efficient
waste re-use, environmental aspects, legal aspects, etc.
l Modeling and simulation: process control, databases, process identification
Conference Program
Along with the scientific session and oral presentation also panel, poster and
commercial presentations will be included. Program will include visits to interesting sights
and places in Slovakia.
Contributions and Proceedings
The contributions to the conference will be presented as short oral presentations,
poster presentations or exhibits. Please, submit a hard copy of your presentation along with
illustrations and tables. Contributions should not exceed 8 pages A4 (210 x 297 mm) for
regular paper and max. 2 pages for poster presentation.
The final text should be supplied electronically or on CD/DVD/USB media. All
contributions will be edited in a unified format and upon review they will be published in
conference proccedings.
For Slovak/English paper guidelines, please refer to http://www.ams.tuke.sk/.
Commercial presentations by companies in the field and companies supplying
apparatuses and research equipment will be part of the program. There will also be an offer
of technical literature.
