The average daily output registered 192,000 tonnes in June, while annualised capacity in operation recorded at 70.12 million tonnes, showed an SMM survey on Friday July 5.
Output received a boost from Bosai Shuijiang, Chalco Huaxing, Chalco Mining, Xinghua Technology, SPIC Shanxi and Liulin Senze, but Xinfa’s Jiaokou plant and East Hope’s Jinzhong plant took a toll.
Alumina production in July is expected to increase by 0.55 per cent on the year to 5.94 million tonnes, with daily average output barely changed.
Production of non-metallurgical grade alumina was 246,000 tonnes. The total annualised alumina capacity including non-metallurgical grade stood at 73.1 million tonnes.
