Market intelligence
Nyrstar restarted indium production at the Auby smelter in Q1 2017 after the fire‑induced shutdown.
Nyrstar planned to increase Auby smelter capacity from 45 t/yr to 70 t/yr, with commissioning expected at the end of Q3 2016, expanding processing capacity.
A fire at Nyrstar’s Auby smelter in Belgium halted indium production in 2016, causing a temporary closure and delaying the restart.
Nyrstar’s Auby zinc smelter expanded indium recovery to 36.7 t in 2008, up from 15.8 t in 2007.
