Meet Us at the XVI International Mineral Processing and Recycling Conference (IMPRC 2025)—Featuring the Metals Young Researcher Award, 28–30 May 2025, Belgrade, Serbia

We are pleased to announce the XVI International Mineral Processing and Recycling Conference (IMPRC 2025), which will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, from 28 to 30 May 2025. The aim of the conference is to create an international forum for academics, researchers, and scientists from around the world to present their latest research results, ideas, and developments regarding issues related to mineral processing and recycling technologies and related areas, featuring talks including but not limited to the following topics:

Material analysis and characterization;
Physical enrichment—gravity, magnetic, and electrostatic separation;
Flotation and surface chemistry processes, flotation reagents, and flotation technology;
Leaching and solutions processing;
Mineral processing of complex ores;
Coal processing;
Dewatering and agglomeration;
Sustainability in mineral processing;
Decarbonization technologies in mineral processing;
Critical mineral raw materials.

In collaboration with the journal Metals, IMPRC 2025 will host a competition for the best young researcher (Metals Young Researcher Award). The aim is to support master’s and Ph.D. students and young doctors (with a Ph.D. completed less than 5 years ago) under the age of 35. Candidates who fulfill the above competition requirements are encouraged to apply, and a selection committee will choose the top three candidates based on the quality of their papers and oral presentations. The winners will be awarded certificates and prize money as follows:

First place: EUR 500;
Second place: EUR 350;
Third place: EUR 150.

In addition, all authors of conference papers are welcome to submit extended versions of their papers to the Special Issue “Innovative Solutions for the Recovery of Metals from Primary and Secondary Raw Materials” in Metals (ISSN: 2075-4701).

We look forward to seeing you in Belgrade!
