May 20, 2024 – Imformed’s annual magnesium supplier conference, MagForum, took place just south of Thessaloniki, Greece this year at the beautiful five-star Pomegranate Wellness Spa Hotel. The conference is well-attended by the world’s producers of magnesium minerals and compounds. These products are widely used in a variety of industries ranging from refractories, wastewater treatment, electronics, acid mine drainage, steel and other metals production, and agricultural uses.
This year, Big Blue Technologies’ CEO Aaron Palumbo gave a presentation highlighting technical progress on the production of magnesium metal with emphasis on aluminate byproducts. “We attend this premier conference to meet suppliers and world’s most influential people in the magnesium mineral industry. It is truly an honor to be selected to present. We’ve used many of the attendees’ ores to produce metal, so it’s a treat for us to show an outlet for their products outside of their normal market segments.”
The title of Aaron’s talk was “Advancing the Use of MgO for the Co-production of Magnesium Metal, Spinel, and Calcium Aluminates,” which can be made available upon request.
