Global Bauxite Markets Are Faced with Some Problems

With the growth of the global aluminum consumption, global markets are faced with some problems. The demand for aluminum is expected to reach more than 70 million tons in 2020. But who can own the aluminum oxide capacity in 2020?

China has large aluminum oxide capacity, but if we consider the low capital expenditure, high operating costs and transportation costs, are still there plenty of bauxite? 

In addition, there are still many problems we need to consider:

A, Indonesia bauxite export ban will continue? Aluminum factory will consider to replace imported alumina?

B, what countries will be increased investment in alumina production capacity?

C, other alumina raw materials, such as fly ash, clay aluminum how commercialization?

So, what are the reasonable suggestions that can be used to deal with? We sort out the following points:

A, Restore mines;

B, Improve the efficiency of aluminum oxide refining;

C, Reduce water consumption;

D, Improve energy utilization;

E, Reduce carbon consumption;

F, Manage emissions and product waste streams;

G, Reduce caustic soda and increase the service efficiency of caustic soda.
