Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Schubert is a Process Engineer at titania producer Titania AS, Norway, with more than 30 years of experience in the resource and mining industry. He studied mechanical process engineering and mineral processing at the Technical University in Freiberg where he gained his Diploma and Doctorate degrees. He has also held positions as a research engineer where he helped to put large full-scale industrial equipment into operation.

• * Particle characterisation by particle size analysis-Modes of particle size distributions-Integral parameters of size distributions-Mathematical operations with size distributions* Liberation of minerals - the necessary condition for separation* Ways of describing the efficiency of separation processes and operation stages-Partition curves from different mineral components-Mass balances and recovery calculations* Unit operations and the micro-macro-process concept* Micro-processes: mathematical description and models-Particle motion in fluids-Turbulence-Volume- and area-related forces on particles-Retention time of particles and fluids in apparatuses, cells, tanks, or machines* Macro-processes: procedures for designing process equipment explained by different examples-Ball mills and their circuits (comminution)-Hydrocyclones (wet classification)-Deflector wheel classifiers (dry classification)-Hindered-settling classifiers (gravity concentration)-Flotation cells (separation which utilises particle surface properties)
