From March 11 to March 14, 2025 in Moscow, at the site of the National Research Technological University “MISIS”, the Moscow International Congress of Concentrators (MMCO-2025) was held, which became an important event for specialists in the field of mineral processing.
The event was organized by NUST MISIS and the Academician N.V. Melnikov Institute for Integrated Subsoil Development of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IPCON RAS).
MMCO-2025 brought together leading mining and metallurgical industry experts, scientists, engineers and business representatives from Russia, CIS countries, Asia, Europe and other regions. The event became a platform for discussing innovative technologies, sustainable development and digitalization of mineral processing processes. The participants discussed promising flotation reagents, magnetic enrichment technologies, as well as combined processes for processing hard-to-enrich ores and man-made raw materials.
Key events of the Congress
— Plenary sessions with the participation of Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences V.A. Chanturia, Rector of NUST MISIS A.A. Chernikova, as well as experts from Metalloinvest, Bakor and ERGA companies.
— 12 specialized sections dedicated to technologies for processing ferrous, non-ferrous and rare earth ores, flotation, magnetic separation, digitalization of production and environmental solutions.
— A round table on the use of artificial intelligence, where cases of implementing AI to optimize processes at mining and processing plants were discussed.
— Exhibition of innovative equipment from leading companies: NTC Bakor, ERGA, NORD Engineering, TOMS and others.
