This new event will further broaden the traditional scope of ESCC conferences of fundamentals of breakage, advanced modelling of fine- and coarse comminution and classification processes and applications for various industries, i.e. mineral processing, bio-refinery, food, pharmaceutical, chemical, electronic and materials industries with waste recycling and with mechanochemical-mechanofusion processes. The fundament of the circular economy is the recirculation of previously used materials (wastes) of which central elements are the first comminution and separation mechanical processes.
