Under the direction of Dr. Boris Chubukov, liquid capture of magnesium metal was successfully demonstrated for aluminothermic reduction (ATR). The pilot campaign emphasizes safe operation above all else with an end goal of fully continuous production in a ‘no-man-on-the-floor’ automated configuration. With this step completed and the onboarding two new teammates, BBT is excited to continue validation work on the world’s most energy and material efficient process for magnesium metal production.
