Industrial operations often produce by-product streams that are costly to manage and difficult to reuse. One example is salty water, or more specifically, aqueous magnesium chloride, a by-product from the production processes at our partner K+S, a leading provider of kalium fertilizer and salt-based products.Today, this byproduct stream represents a significant cost and environmental challenge. But what if it could be transformed into something useful environmentally and economically? That’s exactly what K+S aims to explore, synthesizing aqueous magnesium chloride into high-value nanostructured magnesium hydroxide.
