Copper 2025 - only a few days left before abstract deadline! I want to draw everyone's attention to a few things about Copper 2025: - It will be the largest event in extractive metallurgy ever in combination with Extraction 2025 - Only extended summaries of a couple pages are due before speaking instead of full length papers - The deadline for abstracts is Nov 1 - This is a hard deadline - unlike other events, it appears that this will not be extended Please help to get the word out. If you have questions about submitting, you can reach out to me. We are especially interested in papers on copper recycling and waste handling!

A strategic endeaver linking what I have been doing with #lithium, #LiFePO4, #fertilizer with the #phosphate initiative of Titan. In addition #ilmenite for use in both #pigment processes of #sulphuric and #chloride process as well as the need for new resources to connect to pigment and #titaniummetal. The potential to unlock #vanadium, #scandium needed for #highstrengthsteel and #highstrengthaluminum as well as rare earths from the #apatite while processing for #phosphoricacid. This is an exciting time to connect first use iron units as #pigiron, for #steel recycling, #batteryrecycling with #lithium and #fertilizer.
