World Money Fair Technical Forum 2022 – a Review (Part 2)

In last month’s issue of Coin & Mint News, we covered five of the presentations made at the World Technical Forum 2022, which was held online over two days and hosted by Dieter Merkle of Schuler and Thomas Hogenkamp of Spaleck.

In this issue, we cover the five presentations made in the second half of the Technical Forum.

Innovation for Green Refining

Xianyao Li, Chief Technology Officer at the Royal Canadian Mint’s (RCM) R&D Centre of Excellence, stated that the RCM is always looking for ways to decrease its impact on the environment, reducing the risk of releasing pollutants into the air, water and the ground.

His presentation focused on how the RCM has implemented a green process in its refinery that has helped reduce the use of chlorine gas by 52%.
