4 Conference Inauguration and Opening Reception EMC & Pb-Zn 2015 will be inaugurated at the opening reception, which will take place on Sunday, June 14, 2015 starting at h at the foyer of the International Congress Center at Messe Düsseldorf. 4 European Metallurgical Conference 2015 & Lead-Zinc 2015

5 Welcome to EMC and Pb-Zn 2015 in Germany The success story of EMC is also a success story of international encounter and transfrontier scientific dialogues. The numbers and facts from previous events provide evidence for this statement. The eighth EMC, which is to be held from 14 June to 17 June 2015, will, for the third time, taking place in Düsseldorf. As one of the five best connected economic centers and home to a total of 22 different colleges and universities, Düsseldorf is more than just the state capital of North Rhine Westphalia; it is also the heart of the Rhine-Ruhr metro region. It represents the German industrial heritage, with its roots in mining and the bundled competence of the metal industry. In terms of topics, the conference stays true to its traditions. This year s theme is: Production of non-ferrous metals indispensable foundation for the industry and our prosperity. Metals are the necessary foundation of almost all industrial production chains. The productivity of the European metal industry keeps holding up the competitiveness of the European industry. This conference emphasises the significance which primary production and processing still has today. They are still the basis for thousands of jobs and a significant factor contributing to the economic advancement of Germany and all of Europe. This year s conference focuses on copper, pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy, recycling, as well as special and noble metals. Another important platform for the exchange of new ideas among the European and overseas metallurgical societies is the lead-zinc symposium, or Pb-Zn, which will be held in Germany in 2015 for the first time and which is dedicated to the theory and practice of the extraction of these raw materials. This symposium also follows a long tradition and has always been held by one of the most important metallurgical societies. In previous years, it was held in Japan, Canada, and the US. Just like EMC, PbZn is also the focus of the four important metallurgical exhibitions GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS, and NEWCAST. One thing is for sure both events will once again contribute to the technical scientific dialogue and will, therefore, help consolidate this unique series of conferences. They are sending out a clear signal: The metal industry is still the backbone of a strong economic development. Bound by a long tradition, this industry is also ready for the future. It actively faces its challenges brought on by innovations and operates with social, ecological, and economical sustainability in mind. I would like to wish this conference all the best and want to thank all the lecturers and organisers for their energy and commitment, which will make the EMC and Pb-Zn a success once again. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans Jacobi President of GDMB European Metallurgical Conference 2015 & Lead-Zinc

6 Welcome to EMC 2015 in Düsseldorf This is the 8 th European Metallurgical Conference which takes place every two years and it is a special one. This time the whole world of metallurgy meets at the capital city of North Rhine Westphalia from June 14 th to 20 th. At the the same time the metallurgists of the world can visit the four biggest fairs dealing with the topic of metallurgy. GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST will be presented together as a quartet of technology. Furthermore the international Pb-Zn 2015 congress takes place at Düsseldorf at the same time. So EMC 2015 is embedded in a most attractive environment. Therefore, additionally to our more than 450 participants, professionals visiting the big fairs or PB-Zn 2015 will take the opportunity to register. EMC which has become one of the most important congresses of non-ferrous metallurgy started as an European based congress and is now globally renowned with participants and presentations from Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Australia. The extraordinary increase of demand and prices for non-ferrous metals mainly caused by the development in China has slowed down during the last years, although a growth of say 5 % in China has a different meaning today than ten years ago because the production has grown so much. Hence efficiency has become a much bigger concern. Many companies started cost cutting projects e.g. saving energy. Furthermore in China environmental issues have got a much bigger importance than before. Therefore EMC 2015 will be dedicated to the continuous efforts of our industry to meet the challenges of a globalizing world by delivering important contributions to the welfare in our future. Sustainability of the non-ferrous metals industry will be duly examined in respect to its technological, ecological and economic aspects. Beside the presentation of the papers the congress is also a fitting platform to meet colleagues from different fields of metallurgy. Discussions between scientists from universities and institutions with professionals from the industry in an informal atmosphere are a good base to find new technologies and new solutions. So EMC 2015 is also a good opportunity to both meet old friends and to make new ones. In spite of the dense program during this unique metallurgical week it is worth to visit the attractions of Düsseldorf which is located at the river Rhine. It is not only the historic district with its pubs where a special local dark beer so called Altbier is served. Culturally, Düsseldorf is known for its academy of fine arts with its famous art collection and its relatively large Japanese community. It is also a center of the Rhenish Carnival celebrations taking place about six weeks before Easter.

7 Welcome to Pb-Zn 2015 Prepare for this Outstanding Conference In 2015, the Pb-Zn conference, which is held every five years, will for the first time be held in Düsseldorf, Germany. It is organised by GDMB and the support of a top-ranking international organisation committee of 14 members. The success of the conferences in Kyoto in 2005 and Vancouver in 2010 are witness to the interest in the economically enormously important base metals lead and zinc. In fact, the interest is such that it warrants a conference of their own, different from all the other metals, which are the topic of the European Metallurgical Conference EMC 2015, which is held simultaneously at the same location. The conference will take place June It is the 8 th conference of the Pb-Zn series and is devoted to the theory and practice of the extractive metallurgy of Pb and Zn. Apart from GDMB, the co-organisers are MetSoc from Canada, MMIJ from Japan, and TMS from the US. For the first time ever, the Chinese association BGRIMM is also involved, thus providing a global conference with an international platform for the exchange of new ideas and the discussion of current problems. As usual, process-related topics will be discussed; plants will be presented in theory and practice during field trips, environmental aspects will be covered, and global and economic influences and further developments from research and development. In addition, two deepening short courses will be offered. The conference, therefore, has something to offer for every Pb and Zn metallurgy expert. The parallel EMC makes it possible to meet up with colleagues from other metallurgical areas of expertise. It is also possible to pay a visit to The Bright World of Metals, which unites the exhibitions GIFA, METEC, Thermprocess, and Newcast. And relaxation is also possible. Düsseldorf has a lot of recreational highlights to offer along the Rhine River or in the old town. A diverse social programme will be offered, and insiders will provide the participants with plenty of useful information. Therefore, there is truly no reason to miss Pb-Zn 2015 in Düsseldorf. Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Kerney Conference Chair Pb-Zn 2015 European Metallurgical Conference 2015 & Lead-Zinc

8 The Bright World of Metals welcomes EMC and Pb-Zn 2015 The four metal trade fairs GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST have top priority for the international metallurgical community every four years. The Bright World of Metals, as the event is known, is not just a trade fair highlight with a total of more than 1,900 exhibitors and 79,000 visitors from 83 different countries, however. It is particularly popular due to its tradition of having a high-quality programme held alongside the trade fairs too. The European Metallurgical Conference EMC and the Lead- Zinc Symposium Pb-Zn will be playing a prominent role here again in As a company that focusses on the organisation of trade fairs, we make sure that in-depth know-how is presented. We arrange our events so that they are not merely a business platform; they are instead a stage for the international transfer of expertise and exchange of experience. In this context, conferences like EMC and Pb-Zn provide important insights into the technologies that will be standard tomorrow, so that it is extremely interesting for both trade visitors and corporate exhibitors to participate. There can be no doubt that the latest developments in the minimisation of energy and resource consumption will be attracting most interest this year. We as a company will be concentrating on this issue for the second time already in the form of the ecometals campaign, in which exhibitors take part who have a particular commitment to this field and will be presenting new technologies at the Bright World of Metals. The exhibits on display are required to save energy or increase material and resource efficiency in manufacturing. Technologies involving the climate-friendly use of renewable energy sources or optimised energy controlling can be showcased as well. During GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST from 16. to 21. June 2015, visitors who are interested can then go on tours with the ecometals participants, which can be booked in advance via our websites. This will enable individual information to be obtained about special energy-saving models and solutions for production operations. The combination of the ecometals campaign and the spotlight on EMC and Pb-Zn 2015 will generate impressive synergy benefits that will give specialists like you tremendous added value when you attend the trade fairs and conferences. It is an extra advantage that CCD. Süd, where the conferences are being held, is located directly next to the METEC halls 3, 4 and 5, with the result that no time will be lost in transition enabling the timing of your trade fair visit to be optimised even more effectively. As the Director of the Bright World of Metals, I am looking forward particularly keenly to next June, when Düsseldorf will be the international centre of the metallurgical industry again and will be welcoming guests from all round the world at the trade fairs, at EMC and at Pb-Zn I wish EMC and Pb-Zn 2015 great success and plenty of international participants. Your Friedrich-Georg Kehrer Director GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS, NEWCAST 8 European Metallurgical Conference 2015 & Lead-Zinc 2015

It is complemented by numerous art galleries, artists studios and antique shops in the Karlstadt, bordering the Altstadt. The Rheinufer-Promenade, the promenade bordering the Altstadt along the Rhine, is one of Düsseldorf s most popular meeting places for taking a stroll or just relaxing, particularly in summer. People enjoy the sunshine in one of the many bistros and restaurants or board a boat for a trip on the Rhine. The promenade leads from Schloßturm, the castle tower, past the North Rhine-Westphalian parliament to the Media Harbour.

This is where the media and fashion, art and culture, design and advertising companies, but also hotels and restaurants have settled to enjoy the unique flair of the harbour.
