Primary aluminium; Bauxite-to-alumina production, Hall-Héroult electrolysis and ingot casting; Process-specific production, China; Aluminium ≥99.7%

Dataset description

The system encompasses all production processes from bauxite mining to ingot production, including their fuel consumption, the production of ancillary materials and the generation of electricity consumed as well as all transportation of intermediate products and ancillaries.

Technology description

The primary aluminum ingot produced through this industrial process is intended for various downstream applications, including but not limited to construction, transportation (particularly in the automotive and aerospace sectors), packaging, and electrical industries due to its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and conductive properties. The process data may particularly be relevant for manufacturers and stakeholders involved in these sectors for material sourcing and production planning.
