ICSOBA 37th International Conference and Exhibition concludes in Krasnoyarsk, Russia on September 20
The International Committee for Study of Bauxite, Alumina & Aluminium (ICSOBA) organized the 37th International Conference and Exhibition in Krasnoyarsk, Russia from 16 to 20 September 2019 in cooperation with 25th “Aluminium of Siberia” Conference within XI International Congress & Exhibition “Non-Ferrous Metals and Minerals” (NFM). The host sponsor of the event was RUSAL. Other ICSOBA sponsors that contributed to the realization of the event are: Hatch (gold), Nalco Water, Outotec, Solvay (all silver) and GEA (bronze).
During the Conference, 50 different companies staged an exhibition of latest technologies, equipment and other devices for the bauxite, alumina and aluminium industry.
The joint ICSOBA & NFM event attracted 546 delegates from 177 different enterprises and 34 countries and continents, including Australia & New Zealand, China, Vietnam, India, the Gulf region, Russia, Europe, Africa, the America’s and Caribbean.
The speaker program comprised over 160 lectures in three parallel programs for Bauxite, Alumina and Aluminium and in other NFM sessions with topics of general interest (casting, shaping and heat treatment of non-ferrous metals). Very high-quality papers were selected for ICSOBA presentations (107) and published in the volume 48 of TRAVAUX conference proceedings.
The last day of the conference saw three field trips to Rusal’s Achinsk refinery where nepheline ore is used as raw material instead of bauxite, to Rusal’s newest Khakas smelter, and to Krasnoyarsk smelter, the largest Söderberg smelter in the world.
The best papers awards were given to six different authors in the Bauxite & Alumina & Residue session, Aluminium and Carbon sessions.
The next conference is planned for Jinan, China in mid-October 2020 in collaboration with Sunstone Developmen
