IB2, the Greentech Pioneers
of Alumina Refining

IB2 has developed a breakthrough beneficiation process that upgrades low-grade bauxite into Bayer-compatible high-grade feed.

The technology solves a fundamental challenge in the aluminum value chain: declining ore quality and rising dependence on imported resources.

By neutralizing silica upstream of refining, IB2 transforms the economics and sustainability of alumina production.

“IB2’s technical expertise and industrial know-how opens a path to a more sustainable future for the aluminium industry.”

A Patented Technology Yielding Significant Benefits

IB2’s technology has been validated through more than a decade of research and hundreds of laboratory tests across diverse bauxite types, consistently demonstrating substantial improvements in ore quality.

It is the first and only pre-refinery beneficiation solution globally, protected by a robust intellectual property framework combining patents, proprietary know-how, and secure calibration systems.

IB2 offers the alumina industry a credible, scalable, and ESG-positive pathway to meet rising aluminum demand while reducing costs, waste, and environmental impact.
