Biohydromet '16 will focus on the latest developments in the field of biohydrometallurgy: the development, optimisation and application of integrated biomining process operations for mineral ores, including low grade and complex ores; the microbiology of biomining and the application of biohydrometallurgy to novel resources (such as mine and electronic wastes) and the (bio)remediation of mining-impacted environments.

1. Biomining Process Development:1. Biomining Process Development:

• Development and optimisation of biohydrometallurgy processes, including sub-processes of biohydrometallurgy, reactor systems, hydrodynamics and modelling
• Associated Unit operations, Up- and Downstream processing (including waste management) etc.

2. The Microbiology of Biomining:

• Microbial ecology and succession, both description and kinetics
• Microbial consortia and bioprospecting,
• Certain fundamental aspects.

3. Biohydrometallurgy Applications:

• Biomining (i.e. Bioleaching, Biooxidation) applications - both heap and tank
• Novel and potential resources (e.g. electronic and other metallic wastes)
• Bioremediation applications (e.g. the treatment, prevention and prediction of AMD, metal recovery from wastes etc.)
• Other biotechnologies in mining and metallurgical industries.
