UrSMU Mineral Processing Department celebrates its 100th anniversary (1921–2021). During this period the department trained 4,601 mineral processing engineers providing technical personnel for concentrating mills all over the country. There are 2 Heroes of Socialist Labour, 21 Doctors of Science, 169 PhDs, 14 State Prize laureates, Heads of mining and processing works and concentrating mills among the graduates of the department. Professors of the department prepared and published textbooks and manuals for all the courses and developed new educational courses (“Information processing methods”, “Hydrochemical processing methods”, “Mineral sampling”, “The theory of the mineral separation”, “The theory of engineering experiment”, “Modern concentrating mills”, etc.). The laboratory of the department is equipped with the full set of equipment allowing students to carry out experiments when taking any course, as well as do individual studies on ore washability. The department holds an annual international conference “Scientific basis and practice of ore and technogenic material treatment”. The department received the delegates of the Plaksin Readings twice and took part in the International Mineral Processing Congress 2018 in Moscow.
