SUMMARY:“Lithium Processing (Hard Rock and Brine)” Short Course
DESCRIPTION:Lithium (and its chemicals) has been a hot commodity over the last couple of years due to new applications of this metal in consumer electronics\, smart grid storage\, lithium ion batteries and electric battery powered vehicles.  Lithium based chemicals are produced either from lithium brines or from lithium bearing minerals.\nLithium projects are not easy to develop and there are examples of project failures due to lack of knowledge and understanding of complexity in impurity removal or temporal component of grade and composition in brine deposits or chemistry issues in hard rock processing.\nIn this course we introduce participants to the basic concepts and operations involved in lithium processing including:\n•	An overview of the mineralogy and geology of lithium bearing ores and genesis and the impact this has on the processing plant.\n•	A comparison between hard rock lithium mining vs. harvesting lithium brines.\n•	The unit operations and equipment used in lithium processing (hard rock and brine).\n•	Typical flowsheets and their application to various lithium ores (coarse vs. fine particle separation).\n•	Metallurgical testwork required to characterise a lithium ore or brine.

SUMMARY:Practical Mineral Processing and Extraction
DESCRIPTION:Practical Mineral Processing and Extraction Workshop provide a concise and thorough overview of extractive metallurgy as it is applied in industry today. It provides an overview of the processing and extraction challenges and provides answers to these challenges.\nThe primary objective of this workshop is to discuss current techniques and future trends in the area of mineral processing and metal extraction. This is an important and growing area\, yet there are few practical and up-to-date workshops that devoted to this purpose. \nThis workshop not only discusses the different techniques available for mineral processing and metal extraction\, but it also provides attendees sound information on plant optimisation and cost reduction.
