Fern -- Perhaps you know Dr. Queneau. I believe that there may be synergies between IPC recycling work and the work at the Colorado School of Mines. So I am violating protocols and including his brochure.

Processors, raw materials, and markets are identified and quantified. Speakers with decades of hands-on experience detail multiple approaches to recycling metals and associated materials - backed up by slides, videos, and the syllabus. Particular emphasis is given to combinations of physical, hydrometallurgical, and pyrometallurgical processing, along with associated regulations, to facilitate economical recycling. The presentations are on a practical level, focusing on plant operations, with ample opportunity for participant interaction PROGRAM OUTLINE AND SCHEDULE Monday Afternoon, June 20, 2005 Noon Registration 1:00 Recycling and the U.S. Regulatory Environment John Wittenborn (Partner) Bruce Steiner (Sr. Environmental Advisor), Collier Shannon Scott, Washington, DC Dave Fagan, Sr. Policy Advisor, EPA Office of Solid Waste, Washington, DC U.S. EPA's hazardous waste recycling regime: interpretation/discussion of RCRA recycling regulations, and new developments (Wittenborn/Steiner).

I have recommended it to everyone that I talk to. Colin Ells, Manager, Raw Materials, Falconbridge International U.S., Pittsburgh, PA A gathering of experts from so many different areas of the business to contribute! Dave Harpham, Catalyst Services Manager, Johnson Matthey Catalysts, Billingham, U.K. A great opportunity to learn about other processes that may have carry-over applications. The breaks, lunches, and social were most conducive to networking with other "players".

The relaxed audience / humor, creativity, and openness of the participants added to the impressive strength of this gathering. John Broxham, Commercial Director, Jean Goldschmidt International, Brussels, Belgium Superb quality of information conveyed in the presentations, plus attendees are the cream-of-the-crop in metal recycling.
