Symposium overview

IMDPIM is aimed at accomplishing the targets of safe, efficient, and green mining of underground mineral resources such as coal, salt mine, oil shale, nonferrous metal ore, and radioactive mineral resources, and other resources and energy via modifying physical and/or chemical properties of these deposits by in-situ technology of injecting heat, gas, fluid into deposits, by fracking and slotting. The symposium theme was "Present and Development of Theory and Technology of In-situ Modification of Deposit Properties for Improving Mining", and explores the application of in-situ modified mining theory and technology in geo-energy exploitation. The symposium will bring domestic and foreign researchers together who lead the frontier of geo-energy and geo-resource development to exchange and share new insights and results in the in-situ extraction of geo-energy and geo-resource. The first and second International Symposium on In-situ Modification of Deposit Properties for Improving Mining were held in 2018 and 2020 in Taiyuan, Shanxi, China, respectively.

The 3^rd International Symposium on In-situ Modification of Deposit Properties for Improving Mining (IMDPIM3) is scheduled to be held in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province in August 2022.  The conference theme is “Low Carbon driven sustainable in situ mining”, The symposium will invite international famous experts in the fields of IMDPIM as keynote speakers. The symposium will also launch different sessions to discuss related hot topics.

The symposium will be organized by Taiyuan University of Technology and co-organized by Key Laboratory of In-situ Property-improving Mining of Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory of Safe and Efficient Mining of Mineral Resources of Shanxi Province, The In-situ Steam Injection Branch of State Center for Research and Development of Oil Shale Exploitation, Resource and Environment Committee of National Science and Technology Innovation Leading Personnel Alliance and Shanxi Society of Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering.

We sincerely invite you to share your research achievements will your colleagues and to promote innovations of research.

We look forward to hosting you in Taiyuan.
