Call for Papers

We will offer a variety of sessions ensuring delegates have quick and easy access to lead industry experts – end-to-end across the global secondary lead sector.

We are encouraging submissions from presenters over the full spectrum of topics relevant to the secondary lead industry. Papers can be research and/or practice based, with a focus on providing attendees with up to the minute information and knowledge whilst promoting a better understanding and encouraging mutual cooperation. The secondary lead industry is one of the least understood industries in the metals world, although contributes over sixty percent of the lead supplied every year.

The dynamics of this industry are quite different to those of the Primary lead industry, as the varying types of lead recovery methods employed throughout the world for recycling, ranging from clay-lined drums to the latest pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods available. With such a broad range of subjects to discuss, the conference aim is to give all delegates covering many aspects of the industry, including:

  • Markets: Updates of the Lead Market including insights into market situations, drivers and future directions
  • Hedging: Understanding the complex world of hedging and how it works
  • Plant Design: Update of the latest plant designs and operations including latest work on de-sulphurisation techniques
  • Refractories and Burners: Presentations outlining details on correct operating parameters of critical areas of furnace operations
  • Metallurgy of Lead Smelting and Refining: Outline of the technology behind a smelter
  • Understanding Slag’s: The various slag systems that are utilized in secondary smelting will be discussed to give delegates a better understanding of a complex subject
  • Environmental: Covering a wide range of topics from legislation to pollution control. The leading Analysts, Technicians and Metallurgists in the industry will address the conference, giving each delegate a better understanding of a complex and dynamic industry.
