14000 Advances in Processes for Metals Separation and Purification
OverviewThis session addresses chemical engineering advances in aqueous and non-aqueous based processes for metals separation and purification. Presentations describing advances in the separations and primary waste treatment processes associated with processing metal ores and irradiated nuclear fuel are encouraged. The organizers invite presentations covering the performance of new process plant, conceptual process flowsheets and results from research and development projects.
