The ICAM series has become a very important quadrennial event for the applied mineralogy fraternity to share information and new developments. This 2008 ninth conference carried on the ICAM tradition with a diverse but concise series of themes across the field of applied mineralogy, including environmental and medical mineralogy, geometallurgy and process mineralogy, and conventional ceramics and construction materials. Application driven automated quantitative mineralogy was one of the main themes and explored existing technologies and innovations which are currently under development. This range of topics will contribute to the shared knowledge of exciting research and current developments within the field. The profession of applied mineralogy is in great demand and universities and research centers are under pressure to produce urgently needed engineers and scientists, as well as new technologies. New tools and methods are being developed to help the mining industry recover more metals, reduce operating and capital costs and minimize environmental and social impact. This volume reviews the current state of development in these areas.
