The Refining and Recycling of Metals seminar was arranged at Britannia hotel, the 5th and 6th of September. The seminar was arranged in order to celebrate the publishing of the book of the same name.

The main author, Thorvald Abel Engh, was a guest of honour together with Christian Simensen and Olle Wiik, who had both written important chapters. There were also very interesting presentations from Trond Furu, Sarina Bao, Martin Syvertsen, Eivind Øvrelid, Aud Wærnes, Otto Lunder and Anne Kvithyld. John Grandfield gave a pre-recorded presentation, as did one of the book’s main contributors, Geoffrey Sigworth, who gave a humorous and interesting retrospective. The seminar was streamed online, and 50 people participated.

We would especially like to thank Ingrid Page for organizing a successful seminar!

Daniel Clos at SFI Metal Production defended his thesis in May 2021. In this blog he presents the main results from his important research on "Formation of Hard Grey Scale (HGS) on the Surface of a Cold-finger in the Aluminium Production Industry".
