Definition Magnesite / Magnesia
Magnesite
⬢ MgCO3: Magnesium-Carbonate (Industrial-Mineral). It forms deposits
Magnesia
⬢ MgO Magnesium-Oxide. It does not ocure in nature (only as Spinel – combination with Al2O3). It produces out of Magnesite (90%) and Sea-Water / Brines (10%) → three main modifications:
Three main types of Magnesia (all are MgO)
⬢ Caustic Calcined Magnesia (CCM) – 100 applications
⬢ Dead Burned Magnesia (DBM) – mainly (only) application: refractories
⬢ Fused Magnesia (FM): main application refractories and heating-elements

CO2 Road Map
Building a global leader in refractories
We as a producer of Magnesite / Magnesia and part of the
Euromines Magensia Producers Assembly – we are working on a
CO2 Road Map. Detailed CO2-analysis (foot-print) is ongoing.
Fuel efficency
⬢ The last graph shows what was achieved from 2002 - 2018
⬢ We are not fully at the end of the road
⬢ Further initiatives are ongoing
Process Emissions
⬢ From the decomposition of Magnsite we get 1 t CO2 per 1 t Magnesia – it can’t be avoided
⬢ Technical solution (break through technologies) must be developed – we are working on it (difficult, costly, still a long way to go)
Recycling as an opportunity
⬢ 1 t of recycled magnesia can save 1,5 t CO2
⬢ See next slides
CCU (Carbon Capture Utilisation)
⬢ Discussion and R&D ongoing. One way to convert the CO2 into Methane and feed it into the existing pipeline –the kilns will be fired with “green” electricity (brake through technologies and funding needed)
Carbon neutrality
⬢ Green electricity can be used – that is not reflected enough in the discussion (indirect emissions) – this process has not really started.
⬢ Recycling of slag is also a good opportunity
Research and Development
⬢ R&D will be key!
⬢ Break through technologies must be – and will be developed!
27
Recycling of Magnesia
The value chain
⬢ Most of the refractory ends as slag (steel) or in the product (cement)
⬢ The remaining part can be recycled as refractory material (see the picture)
⬢ Also the slag can be used, but it is often dumped –similar to the usable refractory product
⬢ Why?
⬢ Because it is sometimes more easily – and the legislation is very complicated – because we are dealing with waste!
The slag
⬢ The slag can be used as a construction material (road-construction) – but in some countries (Austria) – it is extremely difficult to get the right permits →
⬢ So it is not a technical problem it is a problem of legislation!
⬢ It is better to recycle the slag, than to mine new construction materials in quarries – and to dump the slag in waste dumps!
⬢ → That is environmental protection!
28
Recycling of used refractories
Building a global leader in refractories
Recycling of Refractories in general
⬢ From a refractory lining roughly 2/3 end in the slag. The remaining part is on the hot face infiltrated with slag or metal, that must be separated and the remaining part can be recycled as refractory.
⬢ It is easy to see, that “only” 10 – 20% of the refractory material can be recycled as refractory
⬢ But refractory is not refractory the quality plays an important role, that the material can be used!
Logistics
⬢ The logistic is very challenging, we have a hugheamount of place where we find used refractories (each steel- and cement plant),
⬢ The the amount per plant/site is very small!
⬢ So you have a high transport burden!
⬢ Sometimes the transportation costs are higher than the cost for a virgin material
Legislation
⬢ The legislation – or the category of what is waste (hazardous and non hazardous) or product or byproduct differs from country to country or from province to province
⬢ We have to cross several borders …
⬢ You can imagine the nightmare of declarations and forms! (With notification, Annex VII declaration, etc.) and establishing the “waste balance”
The Potential
⬢ From a global perspective of around 10 Mio. t of magnesia goes into refractory-products – around 1 –2 Mio. t can be recycled (at a maximum)
⬢ That will save up to 3 Mio. t CO2
The next steps
⬢ Recycling of refractories will get more and more important
⬢ The legislation will maybe not change in the future
⬢ But it is a clear way to the circular economy – and under normal circumstances it should be clear to move towards this direction
⬢ So that means that nearly 100% of the refractory material can be recycled either as slag and construction material or as refractory material again!
⬢ → and then we have fully closed the loop!

Summary and Outlook
Building a global leader in refractories
Magnesia Value Chain
Magnesite and Magnesia
⬢ Roughly 25 Mio. t of Magnesite are mined annually, the main share has China (63%),
⬢ Europe produces around 3 Mio. t (Slovakia, Spain, Austria, Greece)
⬢ Magnesite (MgCO3) is converted by burning to Magnesia (MgO), with the types: CCM, DBM and FM.
⬢ Also roughly 1 Mio. t Magnesia is produced synthetical (out of seawater or brines)!
Markets
⬢ Main consumer for magnesia is the refractory-industry, with a demand of around 70 %!
⬢ For refractories are mainly the types: DBM and FM used.
⬢ The Caustic Calcined Magnesia (CCM) has a wide range of applications: construction, agriculture, environment, health, industrial and chemical!
⬢ The demand will grow further!
Carbon-Dioxide
⬢ The Magnesia Production emits roughly 1,5 t CO2 / t DBM. 1 t come from the chemical decomposition of the Magnesite, the balance comes out of the fuel
⬢ In recent years increases the efficiency significant, due to process optimization; like installing of pre-heating units, etc.
⬢ Break – through technologies are needed and will be developed (difficult and costly!)
Recyclilng
⬢ The main amount of the Magnesia-refractories ends in the slag – the slag can and is recycled as construction material and saves natural sand and gravel.
⬢ The magnesia-refractories can be partly recycled as refractories. This step is technical and logistical difficult, because of the high number of places, each place with a low figure of recycling-material.
⬢ A full-recycling quote will save up to 3 Mio. t CO2
The next steps
⬢ Go for break-through technologies (funding is welcome)
⬢ Recycling is key!
