This, the 7th International Comminution Symposium (Comminution '10) is organised by Minerals Engineering International and sponsored by Sigmund Lindner.
Themes
Comminution '10 will have the following themes:
- The drive to lower energy consumption
- Designing and operating energy efficient circuits
- Can we really grind with less energy?
- Moving beyond size reduction
- multi-component modelling
- predicting liberation
- The squeeze on mills
- Are HPGR’s pushing down into primary milling territory?
- Are stirred mills reaching up into secondary & tertiary mill territory?
Papers will be published as an unrefereed Proceedings on CD-ROM, and selected papers will be published, after peer-review, in a special Comminution issue of Minerals Engineering journal.

Comminution '10 is organised by Minerals Engineering International (MEI) in consultation with Prof Malcolm Powell.
In 1997 Prof Malcolm Powell formed the comminution group at the University of Cape Town, following the suggestion of Prof Cyril O'Connor (director of the Mineral Processing Research Unit MPRU) -after a memorable MEI conference in Cornwall. From January 2007 Malcolm has joined the JKMRC of the University of Queensland to take up the Alban Lynch Chair in Sustainable Comminution.
Malcolm specialises in mill liner design, charge motion and DEM modelling, SAG mill modelling, and classification, with a strong link into applying the research knowledge in extensive site work and consulting to industry. The work aims to link fundamental research into applied outputs through the development of practical and robust process models.

"I wish to congratulate you and your "team" again for the excellence of everything at Comminution 04, and I hope I can be available again for Comminution 06"
Alain Broussaud, Metso Minerals Cisa, France
"I congratulate you for a very successful conference. Thank you very much for everything.
I met valuable colleagues which may result in lasting relationships. This Comminution 08 conference did move my career forward in a meaningful way. It was one of the most productive conferences I have ever attended."
Prof. Tarik Ozkahraman, University of Suleyman, Turkey
"It was my first visit to the Comminution conference [Comminution 08] and I would like to send you and your family my thanks and appreciation for an excellently organized meeting.
I am looking forward to participating in your future meetings."
Boris Farber, Zircoa Inc., USA
"Thank you for providing a valuable comminution forum [Comminution 04] in Perth. We enjoyed being associated with this conference and the exposure it brought with it."
