International Symposium on the Production and Processing of Fine Particles Montreal, Que., August 28 - 31,1988 The symposium Fine Particles ‘88 will reflect both the state of the technology for the production of fine particles for the metals, fine ceramics and industrial minerals sectors as well as recent advances in the processing of fines within the mineral processing and extractive metallurgy industries. Papers are sought which address fundamental and practical aspects of the production or processing of micron and submicron metallic and nonmetallic inorganic particles, related to the following sub-themes of the symposium: economics and market aspects; physical and chemical characterization; physical and chemical methods for the production of fine particles for specific markets; developments in size reduction, classification and physical separation methods; surface chemical separation and surface treatment methods; hydrometallurgy and solid/liquid separation; pyrometallurgy of fine particles production or treatment; gas/solid separation and the impact of fines on the environment.

Three Continuing Education Courses Particle-fluid separation and testing of dry powders are the subjects of three post-experience courses to be held in Amsterdam in the Spring of 1988. The courses are sponsored by the Institution of Chemical Engineers. A four-day course on Solid-Liquid Separation is to be held from 5th to 8th April, a twoday course on Bulk Powder Testing on 11th and 12th April, and a three-day course on Two-Phase Separation with Cyclones from 13th to 15th April. All three courses are aimed at practicing engineers or scientists, are pragmatically orientated and use computer-assisted teaching methods. A leaf@ Elsevier Sequoia/Printed in The Netherlands
