IBAAS 2015 concludes pinning hopes on the Asian aluminium industry

The 4th IBAAS Symposium ended successfully at Suzhou, China. On 27th November, the 3rd and final day, about 12 papers in 2 parallel sessions, 6 on alumina and 6 on downstream operations were presented. Topics covered were mainly on technological and process improvements in alumina refining, bauxite residue utilization and downstream operations.

Papers were presented by the representatives from JNARDDC, IBAAS, PRIMA RESOURCES, CHALIEACO etc. The papers presented revealed the wide knowledge base in the aluminium field and the environmental concerns and potential of improvements. Many Chinese presentations showed continuous efforts that are being made in this country to reduce the cost of production and to keep adding values to downstream products.

The organising committee then had a closing ceremony in which after a feedback from the participants thanked all the participants for their contributions and especially CHALIECO and SINR for their untiring efforts in efficient and successful organisation of the conference. It was informed that the next conference of 2016 may take place in India, the dates and venue for the same would be announced shortly by IBAAS organizers. Many delegates appreciated and recognized the value of this type of technical conference. The presence of about 180 delegates and enthusiasm shown by participants show that aluminium industry will remain viable in Asia despite present depressed alumina and aluminium market in the world.
