Working Party on Comminution and Classification

The EFCE Working Party on Comminution and Classification was started by Professor Hans Rumpf who was succeeded by Professor Klaus Schönert, both contributing immensely to the science of comminution and classification. Professor Eric Forssberg has been the chairman since 1994.

European Symposium on Comminution and Classification

One of the tasks of the Working Party on Comminution and Classification has been to organise the series European Symposium on Comminution and Classification . The first in the series was organised in Frankfurt a. M. in 1962. Since then an European Symposium on Comminution and Classification has been organised regularly:

1^st	1962	Frankfurt, Germany
2^nd	1966	Amsterdam, Netherlands
3^rd	1971	Cannes, France
4^th	1975	Nuremberg, Germany
5^th	1980	Amsterdam, Netherlands
6^th	1986	Nuremberg, Germany
7^th	1990	Ljubljana, Slovenia
8^th	1994	Stockholm, Sweden
9^th	1998	Albi, France
10^th	2002	Heidelberg, Germany
11^th	2006	Budapest, Hungary

12th European Symposium on Comminution and Classification (ESCC 2009)

The recent European Symposium on Comminution and Classification took place at the Dipoli Congress Center, Espoo, Finland, from 15 to 18 September 2009 and was organised by the Association of the Finnish Chemical Societies.

ESCC brings together individuals from industry and academia who are interested in comminution and classification applications. The symposium offers a platform for contacts between different fields from pharmaceuticals through food processing to heavier applications in mineral processing. Furthermore, the symposium has a strong post-graduate thrust providing research students with the opportunity to present their research to colleagues.

Working Party meetings

The Working Party Comminution and Classification meets at least once per year for a workshop and industrial visits combined with the business meeting.
