Department of Mineral Processing and Environmental Protection named after S.B. Leonov

The Department of Mineral Processing and Environmental Protection named after S. B. Leonov has started with the section Enrichment of Minerals. It was created on the basis of the Department of Metallurgy of Non-Ferrous Metals at the Siberian Mining Institute in 1934. The training of mining engineers-technologists for mineral processing was caused by the demand for highly qualified personnel for the rapidly developing mining and processing industry of the region. By this time, there was a great need for personnel in Eastern and Western (Norilsk region) Siberia, Transbaikalia, the Far East and Yakutia, as a result of the development of deposits of various minerals. The first graduation of mineral engineers was in 1939. Currently, the Department of Mineral Processing and Environmental Protection named after S. B. Leonov provides training for students on Hazardous Waste Management, Theory and Methods of Environmental Impact assessment, Mineral processing, etc.
