Top picked abstracts for MOLTEN 2024
As we anticipate MOLTEN 2024, the 12th International Conference on Molten Slags, Fluxes and Salts in Brisbane 17-19 June, we wanted to share some of the stand out papers being presented across the three days.
We received a large amount of quality papers from hundreds of scientific experts and industry leaders from across the globe, covering these important themes. As voted and peer reviewed by our conference Advisory Committee, led by Peter Hayes and Evgueni Jak, we thought we would share the top 13 standout abstracts selected by them. These abstracts were chosen based on their relevance to industry, change making ideas, and concepts that could revolutionise the way we approach the transition to sustainability and circularity.
