Those shuttered aluminum enterprises give us thinking

2019-11-12


Up to now, aluminum metal has surpassed the traditional concept of metal. Because of its light weight, rich resources, recyclable and other advantages, it is becoming a "green" basic material, which corresponds to the concept of global sustainable development. The research on the development law of international aluminum industry shows that aluminum industry is a sustainable energy storage industry and a sunrise industry.

In the first half of 2019, several important shutdown events occurred in China: at 9:30 p.m. on February 28, 2019, Inner Mongolia Tongshun Aluminum Co., Ltd. completely shut down the last 240kA pre baked electrolytic aluminum production line, involving the production capacity of 115000 tons / year. On March 1, 2019, Zhongfu Industrial Co., Ltd. plans to shut down all 250000 tons of electrolytic aluminum of Zhongfu aluminum and transfer it to Guangyuan Economic Development Zone of Sichuan Province, which is rich in hydropower resources. On March 20, 2019, Henan Province issued the national economic and social development plan of Henan Province in 2019, which made it clear that Henan Province will further withdraw 400000 tons of low efficiency electrolytic aluminum production capacity in 2019. On March 28, 2019, Xinheng aluminum's total production capacity of electrolytic aluminum was 350000 tons, and it wanted to completely withdraw from the electrolytic aluminum industry due to years of losses

In these shut-down events, how should aluminum enterprises develop under the development of the general environment, how to keep the original vitality of the enterprise and glow? All of these are the problems that aluminum enterprises should think about. Up to now, aluminum metal has surpassed the traditional concept of metal. Because of its light weight, rich resources, recyclable and other advantages, it is becoming a "green" basic material, which corresponds to the concept of global sustainable development. The research on the development law of international aluminum industry shows that aluminum industry is a sustainable energy storage industry and a sunrise industry.

We should keep up with the development trend of the industry. China's aluminum industry has developed to a new stage and reached a new level. Many problems and contradictions in the development process of aluminum enterprises have become increasingly prominent. However, these problems have not been solved in time and can not meet the requirements of the times in time, resulting in an irresolvable "catastrophe". Therefore, in the process of development, aluminum enterprises should closely follow the industry development trend and adapt to the future development trend of aluminum industry. Integration trend, collectivization trend, internationalization trend and ecological trend are all the development trends that aluminum enterprises should follow in the future, especially the ecological trend. Under the concept of green and sustainable development, aluminum industry in the future pays more attention to saving resources and energy, reducing pollution emissions, and making aluminum industry become a real ecological industry. The "ecological" mentioned here is the concrete manifestation of sustainable development and the result of developing aluminum industry according to the sustainable development theory. The prosperity and development of an industry cannot be separated from the continuous efforts of each enterprise. There are many factors influencing the sustainable development of aluminum industry in China, which are mainly divided into two categories: one is the promotion factors, such as economic development, market demand, urbanization process and the development of emerging industries; the other is the constraints, such as resources, energy, environment and technology. Bauxite resources:

Take advantage of the favorable investment environment of foreign mining industry, participate in the cooperation and competition of international mining industry, and make the best use of foreign bauxite resources, such as seeking cooperation in South America, South Africa and Australia.

Strengthen the protective development of domestic bauxite resources, strengthen technical research and development, adopt new technology, and improve the utilization rate of bauxite resources. We will actively use waste aluminum resources, promote energy conservation and emission reduction, turn pollution into useful resources, turn waste into treasure, and extend the service life of mines.

We will adjust relevant policies, reduce tax rates and encourage the import of raw materials.

Carry out necessary strategic reserves of aluminum resources.

Alumina and electrolytic aluminium production:

Actively implement the "going out" strategy, adopt the methods of merger, reorganization and joint plant construction, transfer alumina to the resource advantage area, transfer electrolytic aluminum to the energy advantage area, and effectively reduce costs.

Actively carry out technological development and technological innovation, and develop new technologies, processes and equipment for alumina and electrolytic aluminum production, so as to reduce resource and energy consumption and maximize economic benefits. To solve the problem of alumina production with low cost and low energy consumption.

Encourage electrolytic aluminum enterprises to change from expanding production scale to improving industrial concentration, from "becoming bigger" to "becoming stronger", carry out joint reorganization with upstream and downstream enterprises, realize scale efficiency, industrial chain extension and joint operation with coal and power industry, and improve core competitiveness.

Processing and manufacturing of aluminum:

According to the mechanism of market economy, we will speed up the adjustment of industrial structure, take the road of large-scale, collectivized and specialized development, and improve the structure of enterprises.

Introduce foreign advanced processing and manufacturing equipment, improve production capacity, improve production accuracy and product quality, improve processing accuracy and quality, and constantly meet the needs of domestic and foreign high-end aluminum products.

The advanced technologies of aluminum purification, grain refinement, casting, rolling, extrusion, forging and surface treatment are studied. The processing technologies of various high-end aluminum products are discussed to achieve the goals of energy saving, consumption reduction and environmental friendliness.

Recycled aluminum industry:

Building a recycling economy system centered on renewable aluminum and realizing the recycling of aluminum resources can not only reduce the dependence on mineral resources and energy, but also reduce the pollution to the ecological environment.

Improve and standardize the domestic waste aluminum recovery system and network, increase the recovery efforts, and further improve the recovery rate of waste aluminum.

Actively adopt advanced renewable aluminum production technology, boldly introduce foreign advanced renewable aluminum production and testing equipment, improve the level of equipment, pay special attention to the dismantling, testing and classification of waste aluminum before smelting.

Strengthen the formulation of relevant policies and regulations, encourage and support the development of renewable aluminum industry.

All in all, the development of aluminum enterprises needs to keep up with the pace of the times, and look at the industry development with a development perspective. Innovation, advanced technology and persistence in sustainability will be the good medicine for rejuvenating the traditional industry. In this rapid development environment, any enterprise should always be vigilant, never slacken, pay attention to the changes in the environment, and constantly pursue innovation. (From CCMN)
