TOPICS of ESCC2026

The Conference technical program is structured in parallel sessions, which will be held over three days.
The Conference topics will be treated in invited Plenary Lectures, Keynote Lectures, Oral and Poster presentations.
Posters will stay on for the whole Conference, promoting Author presentation and spontaneous discussion.

I. Fundamentals of particle breakage.

II. Particulate characterisation.

III. Mechanisms of grinding, dispersing and classification.

IV. Modelling of comminution and classification processes.

V. Wear, erosion, contamination.

VI. Technological application fields of comminution and classification such as: chemical engineering operations and reactors, recycling industry and waste processing, environmental applications and renewable energy, mining, food, pharma, battery industry.

VII. Mechanochemical and mechanofusion processes, bulk and surface mechanical transformations, mechanical alloying.

VIII. Plant operation, control and energy optimisation in milling and classification processes.

IX. Innovative materials for comminution and classification.

X. Powders flowability and floodability in milling operations, grinding aids.

XI. Cell disintegration and recovery of high added-value products.

XII. Application of machine learning, automation and artificial intelligence to comminution and classification processes.
