Join us for the 12th International Bauxite, Alumina & Aluminium Conference & Exhibition, organized by IBAAS in collaboration with The Indian Institute of Metals (IIM). This prestigious event will take place at BITS Pilani K K Birla Goa Campus, Goa, India, from September 25 to 27, 2024.

Organised By IBAAS and Co-Organizer IIM

The Bauxite, alumina and aluminium industry is developing at a fairly good pace in the world and spectacular growth is visible in China, India, Guinea and Brazil. Several other countries like Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia proposing to invest huge amounts into development of the vast resources of Bauxite.

While the downstream industry is facing the challenge of technology upgradation and high investment costs, the upstream industry is constantly under the threat of ever-changing regulatory laws with respect to mining, social development and technology, besides the need for a huge investment in infrastructure for the mining, refining and smelting operations. The world is now pushing for a low-carbon future. The global aluminum industry, from bauxite mine to aluminum ingot, has a challenge to reduce the CO2 emissions and the greenhouse effect. The emissions are increasing because of the growing demand for aluminum and the limited supply of electrical energy generated from renewables.

It is strongly felt that an organization is specifically needed to focus on these issues and work in the field of bauxite geology, mining, beneficiation, alumina refining and aluminium smelting technology particularly in Asian region. A group of leading scientists, engineers, managers and experts in this line have set up a registered society IBAAS to promote this industry in this part of the world.
This society will also provide a platform to number of non-metallurgical value-added bauxite and alumina producers of the world. Apart from large primary metal producers, Asia is becoming the biggest hub for small scale industries, producing value added bauxite, alumina and aluminum products. This International society will address various technical and other issues being faced by large number of primary & secondary aluminium manufacturers and also group of non-metallurgical bauxite / alumina producers of world. 

Objective of the Conference:

• Develop a road map for Bauxite, Alumina and Aluminium industry in India.
• Provide a platform for primary and secondary aluminium producers to share knowledge and review latest developments in the entire value chain of Aluminium Industry.
• Application of Bauxite and Alumina in non-metallurgical industries.
• Digitisation process and Digital twins.
• Decarbonization and Green Aluminium.
• Aluminium recycling industry.
