• Resumen

  • MINERALS Gmbh + Co KG will focus on the trading and distribution of raw materials out of China such as graphite, bauxite, magnesia and silicon carbide and will work with Cofermin's bauxite processing facility, Cofermin Tianjin, to "focus on broadening our services out of China," the company said.

    Cofermin runs offices in Katowice in Poland, Moscow in Russia, Tianjin and Tokyo in Japan. It trades over 100 products worldwide, from alumina to zirconia, to markets such as foundry, steel, refractories, building materials, mineral processing, ceramics, glass, fertiliser, welding and waterjet cutting.

    Speaking to IM, Peter Lentini, chief science officer, said that testing showed that Provodine kills the Ebola virus (and everything else it has been tested against) "rapidly and persistently". Further testing to document the longevity of kill is underway.
