EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 2MINS READ

According to Shanghai Metals Market, production of metallurgical-grade alumina in China came in at 5.97 million tonnes in May, a decrease of 1.39% year-on-year, as maintenance, technical upgrade, and environmental probes affected output.

China’s production of alumina stood 4.19% higher in the first five months of 2019, standing at 29.56 million tonnes.

The average daily output dropped 1,000 tonnes from April to 193,000 tonnes in May, while annualised capacity in operation recorded at 70.3 million tonnes. This was down 336,000 tonnes from April and 990,600 tonnes from April 2018.

In May, maintenance at Guangxi Huayin and suspension for the technical upgrade at East Hope's Lingshi refinery affected alumina production. Guangxi Xinfa stopped a production line. Jiaokou Xinfa and Xiaoyi Huaqing were forced to close for environmental rectifications. 

Operating capacity at Xinghua Technology started to recover from a low of 350,000 tonnes in May. Recovery at Guizhou Huafei, Luyu Bochuang, Bosai Group's Shuijiang project continued to contribute to higher output. Shandong Weiqiao and Chinalco Huaxing further hiked their operating capacity from April, SMM learned.

Alumina production in June is expected to drop by 3.97% on the year to 5.73 million tonnes. Annualised operating capacity is likely to decline by 2.88 million tonnes on the year and by 600,900 tonnes on the month, coming in at 69.7 million tonnes.
