Hydro reaches key milestone in development of zero-emission aluminium technology
Hydro has produced aluminium using its new HalZero electrolysis technology for the first time. The milestone marks an important step in Hydro’s work to develop a new primary aluminium production process with the aim of achieving net-zero emissions. Since 2016, Hydro’s technology teams have been working to develop HalZero, an entirely new process for producing primary aluminium, which could replace the technology used globally today, first patented in 1886. The new technology is based on converting alumina into aluminium chloride before electrolysis in a process designed to keep chlorine and carbon in closed loops. The long-term ambition is to eliminate CO2 emissions from both electrolysis and anode production, releasing oxygen instead of CO2. Hydro has now produced metal from aluminium...

Clean shiny ingots without contamination from release agent
A nano-ceramic coating sets new quality standards in aluminium smelting The nano-ceramic release agent was launched on the market by Ceranovis in Germany with the aim of improving process quality and thereby reducing production costs. This proved successful. Many of the large primary aluminium smelters have switched from conventional carbon-based release technology to ceramic technology. The driver and motivation behind this change was to reduce process and maintenance costs. Rather than applying a release agent permanently or frequently, the ceramic release coating is applied extremely thinly once or twice a month. Just a few kilograms of coating replace tonnes of release agent. The infrequent, low-volume application prevents layer thickness build-up and thus cleaning processes. When...
