FIRST BROCHURE 21st IBS 2015 Biohydrometallurgy: eco-friendly technologies for sustainable development Biohydrometallurgy: eco -friendly technologies for sustainable development The IBS is an international symposium on biohydrometallurgy, held biannually since 1977, and the IBS 2015 will be the first time that this conference is held in Indonesia. Sanur, Bali, INDONESIA 5-9 October 2015 Areas of interest  Fundamentals and Applications of Bioleaching  Geomicrobiology and Biogeochemical Cycles  Microbe-Mineral Interaction  Genetics and Molecular Biology  Mining Impacts on the The IBS 2015 is an exciting international forum that will address the many challenges facing i m p o r t an t a r ea s in biohydrometallurgy, (bio)-metallurgy environments and (bio)-remediation. Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel and application by environmentalists and others. Application of biohydrometallurgy in the mining industry was highlighted by Scientific American as one of ”10 World Changing Ideas”. Research over many years has shown that biohydrometallurgy, which uses biological processes to extract and recover metals, is regarded as an eco -f riendly biotechnology for producing precious and base metals, and is considered likely by many scientists to become more extensive in application in future years. Moreover as metal ore grades continue to decline and the need to less accessible ore bodies, to reprocess wastes and to recycle metals from electronic and other materials becomes more challenging. Also, using biohydrometallurgical processes to remediate mine waters (acid mine drainage etc.) is seen as an important area of development Environment Objectives IBS 2015 is an international forum for exchange, discussion and communication between experts, academics, students, researchers, practitioners, government institutions and professionals from industries in order to: (1) facilitate and encourage the exchange of recent developments, innovations, technical and commercial challenges of implementing biohydrometallurgy in a technology as well as future biohydrometallurgy for both production and metals remediation technologies, and (2) to promote intercommunion and international collaboration between participants in the field of biohydrometallurgy and related fields.  Bioremediation of Metals and Mine Wastes  Bioflotation and Biobeneficiation  Biosorption and Bioaccumulation  Microbial Corrosion Symposium Days 5-9 October, 2015 Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel, Sanur, Bali, Indonesia Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel View ORGANIZING COMMITTEE  M.
