The 12^th International Flotation Conference (Flotation '25) was organised by MEI in consultation with Prof. Jim Finch and was sponsored by Promet101, Magotteaux, GoldOre, Metso, Maelgwyn Mineral Services, Eriez, CiDRA Minerals Processing, Metcelerate, MetSoP, Nesch Mintec, AECI Mining Chemicals, Nalco Water - An Ecolab Company, Clariant, FLS, Capstone Copper, Glencore Technology, Delkor, Ausmetec, Kemtec Africa, BGRIMM, Jord, Woodgrove Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Newmont.

Media partners were International Mining and Minerals Engineering.  Industry Advocates were the Critical Minerals Association.

This 4-day conference focused on:

• Fundamental reagent and flotation chemistry
• Bubbles, froths, bubble-particle interactions
• Flotation cell hydrodynamics, kinetics and scale-up
• Plant Operations, particularly related to new technology, and process mineralogy problems
• Flotation Circuits, and their modelling, simulation, control and optimisation
• Flotation machine developments
• Metallic, non-metallic and coal flotation
• Environmental considerations
