Proceedings of the 54th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Mineral Processors, held at the CIM Convention, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from May 1-4, 2022

The International Symposium on Process Control Applications in Mining and Metallurgical Plants constitutes one of the key symposiums in the 48th Annual Conference of Metallurgists (COM). With a large number of publications on the theoretical development of process control every year, the advancement of process control in industrial practice to help promote economic and sustainable production is also rapidly growing. To reflect this trend, this symposium includes a wide range of exciting topics on process control in mining and metallurgical plants, including expert systems, model based control technology, simulation and monitoring and optimization

The present symposium, 7th in the series, is dedicated to honor Professor James A. Finch of McGill University for his outstanding contributions over almost 40 years in several areas of mineral processing research. The papers presented in the volume, to a large extent, reflect Jim's interests and are a tribute to his accomplishments and leadership. Most papers are on flotation, including, chemistry, hydrodynamics and machine design, in each one of which Jim's contributions have been outstanding and internationally recognized. There is also a section of papers in other areas of mineral processing, such as gravity separation, sedimentation and sulphide minerals self-heating. Jim has done significant work in some of these areas as well and the non-flotation papers are a welcome addition to the volume.
