Associate Professor
S. (Shadan) Kelebek is an Associate Professor of Mineral Processing in the Department of Mining Engineering at Queen's University (Kingston). He obtained degrees from Istanbul University (B.Eng.) and McGill University (M.Eng. and Ph.D.).
He spent several years as postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering at McGill University and CANMET's Fuel Processing Research Centre in Devon, Alberta. This was followed by about eight years with Metallurgical Technology Centre and Strathcona Mineral Processing Operations of Falconbridge Ltd. in the Sudbury district.
Dr. Kelebek's research interests include kinetics, thermodynamics of reagent interactions in simulated process environment, surface phenomena in mineral processing, reactivity and stability of sulphide minerals in tailing environments, recycling, dewatering and waste utilization, coal processing, recovery of fine particles, concentrator circuit analysis and design. Current emphasis is on flotation of complex sulphides and associated selectivity problems, primarily in relation to the rejection of iron sulphides and recovery of colloidal red-mud particles generated in the Bayer Process.
The courses he teaches include Mine 221 (with emphasis on process calculations) and Mine 455 (with emphasis on design and operational aspects of mineral processes). He is a recipient of the Golden Apple Award for Teaching Excellence for the 1998-99 academic year at Queen's University. Currently, he is an Associate Editor of "Canadian Metallurgical Quarterly".
