from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Schubert (born January 23, 1926 in Pirna ; † April 9, 2018 ) was a German engineer for mechanical process engineering and processing technology.

Memorial plaque in Freiberg

Schubert studied at the Freiberg Mining Academy from 1947, graduating as a qualified engineer for mineral processing in 1951 and as a qualified engineer for mining in 1952. He received his doctorate in 1956 ( floatability and structural relationships in cation-active flotation ) and obtained his habilitation in 1971 (doctorate B) with the text The role of association of the non-polar groups in collector adsorption (published in Freiberger Forschungshefte 1972). From 1952 he was in the non-ferrous metal industry of the GDR (copper shale mining in Mansfeld) and became technical director at VVB NE metal industry. From 1960 he was a professor at the Bergakademie Freiberg (from 1969 full professor for mechanical process engineering and processing technology and director of the associated institute). From 1963 to 1975 he was Vice Rector for Research and from 1980 until his retirement in 1991 he was Dean of the Faculty of Technical Sciences.

Schubert was visiting professor at the University of Queensland (1981), the University of Iowa (1982) and the Iron and Steel University in Wuhan (1989).

He wrote standard works on mineral processing and mechanical process engineering. He also dealt with the hydrodynamics of multiphase flows ( flotation ) and particle technology (modification of solid-state interfaces through adsorption, mechanochemistry ), the mechanics of bulk materials and micro-processes in comminution with applications, for example, in the processing of potash salts and waste recycling. In the particle technology colloquium led by Schubert, Eric Forssberg, Eberhard Gock , Karl-Eugen Kurrer , Kurt Leschonski , Stefan Michaelis u. a. about their research.

In 1980 Schubert received the GDR National Prize for Science and Technology and in 1967 the Abraham Gottlob Werner plaque. He was an honorary doctor of the TU Miskolc (1987) and the TH Leuna-Merseburg (1988). In 1997 he received the Hans Rumpf Medal from the German Association for Chemical and Process Engineering. In 2006 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Mineral Processing Congress (IMPC). In 1991 he chaired the 17th IMPC in Dresden. He was an honorary professor at Wuhan University.

He held around 25 patents and was co-editor of the International Journal of Mineral Processing from 1985 to 1992 and of Advanced Powder Technology from 1990.
