CHEMISTS EXPERT COMMITTEE

EC-Heads: Dr. Sonja Priggemeyer Dr. Elke Lossin

The members of the Chemists’ Committee are proven experts in the field of non-ferrous metal analysis. They work in companies in the non-ferrous metal industry, in scientific institutions of research societies, in the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, and at renowned suppliers of analytical equipment.

The objectives of the Chemists’ Committee include:

• supporting the industrial production processes of the non-ferrous metals industry by developing reliable test specifications for chemical analyses
• participating in standardization work in national and international committees
• initiating and creating certified reference materials
• carrying out ring comparisons to check operational analytics
• referring test data to international standards
• developing analytical procedures for risk assessment of workplaces and for testing environmentally relevant parameters

The Chemists Committee is divided into the following Working Groups:

• Aluminum
• Precious Metals
• Copper
• Lead&Zinc
• Environmental and Occupational Safety Analysis
• Special Metals

Over 80 experts usually meet for an exchange of ideas at the two-day general meeting held every year in autumn. The conference consists of meetings of the individual working committees, reports from the committees, a practice-oriented lecture program and an exhibition accompanying the conference. During a shared dinner in a relaxed atmosphere and during the breaks, there is enough space for the important exchange of experiences and there is the opportunity to make new contacts or maintain existing business or friendly relationships. Some working committees also meet for a second meeting in the spring. This takes place either in person or online.

YOUNG MEMBERS
WORKING GROUP

AKJM-Heads: Dipl.-Ing. Lukas Manthey, Niklas Hartung (Clausthal), Jasmin Groß (Aachen), Patrick Reimann (Freiberg)

The Young Members Working Group (AKJM) aims to integrate younger GDMB members (young engineers and students) more strongly into the society’s activities and to involve them in its tasks. In addition, the aim is to increase the participation of young members in events organized by the specialist committees and district groups. The AKJM runs its own training seminars. The working group is represented by contact persons at many universities. The GDMB wants to present its activities primarily to students and young engineers. In addition, we want to promote the engineering profession. Company visits are intended to provide a realistic insight into the diverse activities of geologists, mining engineers, processors, metallurgists and related professions. Short presentations present career prospects and opportunities. Young and experienced colleagues talk about their experiences and give tips for choosing a career and a successful career. Specialist excursions and seminars also provide the opportunity to make personal contacts in order to clarify further questions.

WORKING GROUP DEPOSITS&RAW MATERIALS MANAGEMENT 

WG-Head: Dr. Christoph Gauert

The Working Committee on Deposits and Raw Materials Management brings together, through its members, industrial, official and university expertise in the field of mineral and particularly metallic primary and secondary raw materials, from deposit research and exploration to the resulting economic and ecological assessments. The AA acts as a bridge between deposit research, raw material extraction, metallurgy, smelting, raw materials management and the raw materials processing industry. One of the most important tasks is to network the existing know-how of the various players and knowledge carriers from industrial and academic areas.
