About FoMPEM
The Foundation of Mineral Processing & Extractive Metallurgy (FoMPEM) is the premier international conference concentrating on the fundamentals and applications of Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy. The first FoMPEM was held successfully in Antofagasta, Chile in 2019. More than 100 scientists and engineers in the world enthusiastically participated this conference to share their perspectives and to discuss how academic research and industrial development can make contributions to mineral processing and metallurgy so that people can better overcome the current and future challenges in the mining industry. With the great success of the event, an agreement was reached to make the FoMPEM every two years in America and Asia.
The second FoMPEM was supposed to be held in China in 2021. But, because of the pandemics of the COVID-19, it has to be postponed until now. The II FoMPEM is organized by the Anhui University of Science and Technology, and the Key Laboratory of Green Utilization of Critical Non-metallic Mineral Resources, Ministry of Education, China, and will be held in the city of Huainan, Anhui Province, China in December 1-3, 2023. The main objective is to draw together the scientists, engineers and students from all of the world to promote, discuss and reveal the latest advances in the science and technology of Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy.
