As you make travel plans to attend Materials Science & Technology 2013 (MS&T'13), be sure to include one of the following TMS-sponsored short courses, which will be held in conjunction with the meeting:
Energy Management in the Materials Industry
Sunday, October 27, 2013
8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
This course is directed toward energy managers, engineers, supervisors, and managers working in the materials industry who want to reduce their energy usage. The training is meant to explain both general energy management methods and those areas specific to the metals and materials industry.
Simulation Techniques for Process Energy Modeling - Doing it Yourself with Excel
Sunday, October 27, 2013
1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
This entry-level course uses simulation-based techniques to prepare energy balance calculations in the production, utilization, conservation, and conversion of materials during processing. The emphasis uses simulation techniques based on practical examples, and relies extensively on the use of Microsoft Excel and Excel-based tools for the balance calculations. This course addresses the need to improve the energy efficiency of industrial process, control and minimize the waste material produced by industrial processes, evaluate the feasibility of conceptual processes or significant changes in existing ones, and provide a calculational basis for meeting emission limits imposed by federal and state regulations.
MS&T'13 will be held October 27–31, 2013 in Montreal, Quebec Canada.

7th International Symposium Examines Hydrometallurgy Topics
Posted on:
6/11/2013 12:00:00 AM...
Hydrometallurgy 2014 will provide a forum for the dissemination of all research relating to hydrometallurgical extraction, purification, and recovery of base and precious metals. Sponsored by The Metallurgical Society (MetSoc) of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), Hydro 2014 will be held June 22–25, 2014 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The event is organized by MetSoc, TMS, and the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration.
Technical topics include:
- Extraction (Oxides/Sulphides)
- Separation (Solvent Extraction/Ion Exchange)
- Recovery (Electrowinning & Electrorefining)
- Environmental Aspects
- Teaching/Research in Hydrometallurgy
- Controls and Automation
- Operations (Start-up/Project Updates)
Papers relating to waste treatment and minimization; environmental compliance and monitoring; and automation, sensors, and control in hydrometallurgy are also welcome. Updates on current hydrometallurgical operations, new project execution, health and safety initiatives, and case studies relating to all aspects of hydrometallurgy are also sought.
