This week on IMTV, we report on events from
MagMin 2014, which was held in Budapest at the beginning of
June. Among the topics discussed was a warning from
Austria-based RHI, which said that the refractories industry
cannot continue to rely on cheap magnesia products from
China.
Also this week, six new minerals – including magnesite,
borates and phosphate rock – have been added to the
EU’s list of critical raw materials; and Tyco Fire Protection Products unveiled
its new Checkfire detection and actuation system at a
distributor event in Madrid.
IMTV also reports on the news that a helicopter belonging to
Russian fertiliser producer OJSC Apatit has crashed into
Munozero Lake in the Murmansk region of Russia leaving only two
known survivors.
