Guangxi Hetai's green alumina project enters trial production, boosting local aluminium industry chain

Guangxi Long'an Hetai New Materials Co., Ltd.'s Green New Materials Industry Chain Production Site Project has entered the trial production phase. This is the first alumina project in Nanning, filling the upstream gap in the city's aluminium industry chain.

The enterprise uses imported bauxite as raw material and relies on the Pinglu Canal to produce high-end aluminium-based new materials. It has completed construction of capacity for an annual output of 1 million tonnes of alumina, 300,000 tonnes of aluminium hydroxide, and 300,000 tonnes of iron ore concentrates, and has now produced qualified products supplied to local areas in Guangxi as well as to Yunnan, Guizhou, and other places.

Furthermore, the enterprise has jointly created the nation's first circular economy model integrating the aluminium industry with the cement and building materials industry, together with Long'an Huahong Cement Company, converting solid waste such as fly ash and desulfurisation gypsum into raw materials for cement production.

Meanwhile, in collaboration with Northeastern University, it has developed red mud-based alkaline substances to achieve harmless treatment of red mud. Li Xiaoqiang stated that after the Pinglu Canal opens, ex-China bauxite can be shipped directly to the plant, and products can access broader markets via the Pinglu Canal, effectively reducing transportation costs.
