Abstract

This work plan describes the activities proposed to be carried out by visiting researcher Prof. Dr. Gabor Mucsi, from the University of Miskolc, Hungary. This a proposition for a one-week visit during which Professor Mucsi will work together with the research groups for Ore Dressing and Technological Characterization of Mineral Raw Materials. With 15 years of research experience in the field of waste processing and fine and ultrafine grinding, he joined the University of Miskolc as a professor seven years ago. He has published 98 articles, out of which 19 in scientific journals, particularly four recent publications in the International Journal of Mineral Processing, the main indexed international journal in the mineral processing industry. The visiting researcher is also a member of the board of the International Mineral Processing Congress, the world's leading event in the field of ore processing. His visit will be quite important, as the research groups on Ore Dressing and Technological Characterization of Mineral Raw Materials, despite their extensive experience in waste processing and milling, has little experience in the area of fine and ultrafine grinding, which requires increasingly complex studies on the use of wastes and ores. This work plan comprises the main projects currently developed by the coordinators behind this proposal, the activities to be conducted during the visit, and Prof. Mucsi's main publications. (AU)
