• Resumen

  • Environmental inspections and a ban on the sale of dynamite have led to supply shortages of magnesia in the world's biggest producing region and, as Albert Li, IM Correspondent found on a recent visit to the area, anger is rising among companies in the sector.

    Attendees of this year's MagMin field trip to several magnesia plants inspect a recent batch of fused magnesia at the warehouse of Liaoning New Development Refractory Group In the second quarter of this year, spot environmental inspections by Chinese officials, coupled with restrictions on the sale of dynamite, delivered a shock to Liaoning's magnesia companies.

    The resulting shortage of magnesia supply from Liaoning, the world's main magnesia-producing region, caught both domestic and international magnesia consumers off guard.
