Venue

The City of Lights, Varanasi welcomes all the delegates to the International Conference on Management and Recycling of Metallurgical Wastes. The venue of the conference is Department of Metallurgical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology () at the heart of Varanasi.

About the Department of Metallurgical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU)

The Department of Metallurgical Engineering at IIT (BHU) is the first department to be established in India, in 1923. Being the pioneer department of its time, the Department has produced numerous alumni who have attained great positions in the field of metallurgy and material science. The research scholars of the department have attained respectable faculty positions in metallurgical engineering departments all across the country. The Department is known for being the Advanced Research Centre for Iron and Steel, Government of India and the Malaviya Chair of Railway Technology, Ministry of Railways. Well- equipped with state of art material characterization techniques, the Department of Metallurgical Engineering is a nexus of high quality researchers, experienced metallurgists and academicians. The glorious reputation of the department is further enhanced, as the department is hosting the first International Conference on Management and Recycling Metallurgical Wastes.

About Varanasi

Varanasi, the holy city of India, is also known by the name of Kashi and Benaras. Kashi, the city of Moksha for Hindus since centuries, is known for its fine-quality Banarasi Silk Sari, 'Banarasi paan' and Benares Hindu University and Avimukta of the ancient days. Varanasi is the most popular pilgrimage point for the Hindus and Bhuddhist. One of the seven holiest cities, Varanasi is the oldest city of the world. Varanasi is more than 3000 years old and is famous as the city of temples. is about 10 Km from Varanasi. The museum, excavation sites and the Buddhist temples bears the testimony of amalgamation of Indian culture with the neighbouring countries.

MetWaste – 2020:

There has been very impressive growth of metal production in the world during past few decades. However, increase in its production also causing generation of large quantity of wastes such as slags, dross, dust, leach residues, liquid effluents etc. Similarly, soon after the ‘end-of-life’ of many scientific and industrial components containing potential metal values, also become scrap. Recovery of valuable metals from such solid and liquid wastes is one of the biggest challenges of today’s world. In this context, an International conference on Management and Recycling of Metallurgical Wastes has been organized which focuses on recovery and recycling of all kinds of metallurgical wastes generated during primary metal production, fabrication of metals and alloys and from waste components including e- waste. This international conference shall serve as the platform for academicians, industrialists and researchers alike to present their work and exchange new developments in the area of recycling and management of various kinds of wastes generated from metallurgical and related industries as well as from ‘end-of-life’ components. Abstract of prospective full-length articles are invited on various topics as mentioned below.

 Process wastes: Mineral processing, waste, sludges, residues etc  Metallurgical wastes: slags, dross, dusts, fumes and leach residues  Hazardous metallurgical wastes  Electronic wastes  Battery wastes  Metal recycling: Ferrous, Non-ferrous, Precious metals  Fly ash: management and mitigation  Recycling and Recovery methodology: Physical, mechanical and Chemical  Purification and separation techniques  Other wastes: Rubber, paper and plastics recycling  Green energy derived from waste  Miscellaneous fabrication wastes  Waste Management  Environmental concerns in recycling

With the presence of the eminent professionals in waste management & recycling in Metallurgical Engineering and allied fields, the International Conference on Management and Recycling of Metallurgical Wastes (Metwaste-2020) shall be home to all the bright-minded researchers entrepreneurs and young scientist from all around the globe.
