IBAAS to hold International symposium on ‘Bauxite, Alumina and Aluminium Industry of Asia

IBAAS plans to hold its first International symposium on ‘Bauxite, Alumina and Aluminium Industry of Asia – Vision 2020’ with special Session on “Non-metallurgical bauxites and alumina products” during December 3-5, 2012 in Nagpur, India. The aluminium industry structure is rapidly changing and production centres are shifting to developing, high growth potential countries of the world. Keeping the present development pace and growing importance of Asian countries, International Bauxite, Alumina & Aluminium Society (IBAAS) was set up in this part of the world by professionals active in various fields of aluminium industry. The association aims to stimulate, promote and encourage scientific and technological investigations and industrial development mainly in the Asian countries.

Bauxite being the main raw material for aluminium plays a big role in deciding the production and marketing of aluminium. In the present scenario where Indian bauxite resources are not being utilized properly due to a number of issues like environment protection and tribal protest and China is under pressure due to Indonesian Bauxite export tax, the symposium becomes the right place to highlight a number of issues regarding bauxite and alumina and aluminium as a whole.

IBAAS-2012 International symposium is getting overwhelming response from Bauxite, Alumina and Aluminium, Non-metallurgical bauxite and special alumina industry from all over the world. About 60 abstracts on various aspects of bauxite, alumina and aluminium industry have been received. More than 70 organizations have confirmed their participation for the 3 days mega event of December 3-5, 2012. www.alcircle.com, a global aluminium industry portal for news, events and business participates in the symposium as a media partner.
