Further, their utilization escalated in most of the developing Comminution President, SOADU, Bhubaneswar countries. As a result, metallurgical industries have increased their Gravity and magnetic separation Patron: production units as well as outputs to meet this rapid growing demand Flotation of different metals. This augmented metal extraction causes serious Flocculation & dewatering Prof. Amit Banerjee depletion of different primary resources. Therefore, there is a doubt Mineral beneficiation Vice-Chancellor, SOADU, Bhubaneswar on sustainability of metal production in light of the expected shortage Biominerals Convenor: of primary resources. In this uncertainty, low-grade ores, secondary Extractive Metallurgy Prof. Lala Behari Sukla resources and wastes evolved as a ray of light. However, metal Pyrometallurgy BBRC, ITER, SOADU, Bhubaneswar extraction from these resources is not easy as that from primary Hydrometallurgy Co-Convenor: resources because they contain maximum impurities. To make it easy, Electrometallurgy Dr.Niharbala Devi, BBRC, ITER, SOADU, Bhubaneswar worldwide different scientists have explored their research with the Biohydrometallurgy Organising Secretary: aid different aspects of science and technology that include the Pretreatment method Dr. Debabrata Pradhan, BBRC, ITER, SOADU, Bhubaneswar advanced form of chemical, metallurgical, mining, biotechnological Microbial consortia and environmental engineering. This interdisciplinary research Biotechnological aspects Director Finance: related to different applications in the metallurgical industries is Hydrodynamics Prof. Manas Kumar Mallick, ITER, SOADU, Bhubaneswar further classified in to mineral processing, extractive metallurgy, Modelling and process simulation environmental technology and materials technology. The mineral Heap and reactor designing National Advisory Committee processing aids the suitability of different secondary mineral resources Techno-economical study for the low-cost metal extraction. The advanced extractive Prof. D. Acharya, SOADU, Bhubaneswar metallurgical processes further optimise the metal recovery in the eco- Environmental Technology Dr. S.K. Biswal, CSIR-IMMT, Bhubaneswar friendly way. Environmental problems are always associated with the Ecosystem conservation Dr. R.K. Mehajan, SERB, New Delhi metallurgical processes starting from mining to metals and their Environmental protection Prof. K.A. Natarajan, IISc, Bangalore products. Therefore, environmental technology has a major role in Acid mine drainage(AMD) maintaining the race of the built ecosystem without disturbing the Up- and Down- stream process Dr. B.D. Pandey, CSIR-NML, Jamshedpur natural ecosystem. Properties enhancement of metals and their alloys Waste utilisation Mr. N.D. Rao, JSW, Odisha have a big impact on overall production process of different Effluent treatment Dr. T. Subbaiah, VFSTR Deemed to be University, Guntur metallurgical industries. Since the above technologies are cooperative Slurry transportation Dr. M.K. Ghosh, CSIR-IMMT, Bhubaneswar to each other's, worldwide thousands of scientists are working Remediation; adsorption; filtration Dr. P.K. Mohapatra, BARC, Mumbai restlessly in different aspects of the research fields. Although it is a Environmental biotechnology spontaneous process, some groups have found the suitable solutions Biofuels and biofilms Prof. B.C. Meikap, IIT, Kharagpur to different problems of the metallurgical industries. But the solutions Algal systems Prof. P.K. Sen, IIT, Kharagpur must be reviewed in the research communities. They should be Microbial fuel cells Prof. R.K. Singh, NIT, Rourkela Aerobic and anaerobic process transferred to the young and fresh brain of students and research Prof. B.C. Ray, NIT, Rourkela scholars for their innovative. Overall it can be said that there must be Materials Technology Dr. K.K. Sahu, CSIR-NML, Jamshedpur some brainstorming among the research communities for the better Materials synthesis Dr. K. Sarangi, CSIR-IMMT, Bhubaneswar and fruitful solutions in the metallurgical industries. The National Materials properties conference on “Trends in Minerals & Materials Technology Composite materials Dr. Manish K. Jha, CSIR-NML, Jamshedpur (MMT-2019)” is a platform for different scientists, academicians and Functional materials Dr. N. Pradhan, CSIR-IMMT, Bhubaneswar industrialists throughout India to discuss and enlighten the trend of the Biomaterials Prof. P.K. Behera, Sambalpur University, Burla solutions with respect to the different problems associated with the Applications Prof. S.K. Badajena, VSSUT, Burla metallurgical industries. Bioprospecting Prof. N. Das, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar Prof. S. Sahoo, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar Prof. H.N. Thatoi, North Orissa University, Baripada Dr. C.S. Gahan, Central University, Rajasthan Dr. A.P. Das, R.D. Woman's University, Bhubaneswar Dr. B.C. Mallik, Ravenshaw University, Cuttack National Conference on Trends in Minerals & Materials Technology (MMT-2019) Date: 30-Oct-2019 Registration Form .
