Greetings from Indian Chamber of Commerce !

Globally, seawater has been recognized as a potential source of varieties of marine chemicals. More than 70% of salt produced in India (about 20 million t/y) is from seawater & the resultant mother liquor (commonly known as sea bittern) left after harvesting of salt, contains significant amount of potassium (about 1%) and magnesium (about 3.5%).

This assumes significance in view of India's import dependence for (i) potassic fertilizers (ii) high purity magnesium oxide (>97%; CC) suitable for refractory application& (iii) magnesium metal.

Annually, India imports about 4 million tons potash (e.g., 3.76 million tMoP in 2019-20at an expense of ₹ 8366 crores).

Similarly, India imported about 20000 tons refractory grade magnesium oxide in 2019-20 at an expense of ₹140 crores. Likewise, presently India imports magnesium and their alloys, especially from China, for strategic and defence needs.

This is a huge burden on the Indian economy where as the domestic technologies developed in different CSIR laboratories can be of great help to promote import substitution.

Considering the potentials of these sector and to explore the future possibilities, Indian Chamber of Commerce(ICC) is please to organize anE-Conference on Marine Chemicals Conclave ( Marine Chemicals Industry Meet ) in virtual i-CONNECT platform on 27th July, 2022 in association with CSIR-CSMCRI from 10AM to 12 PM.
