Transaction would further enhance Alcoa’s position as of one of the world’s largest bauxite and alumina producers with increased ownership of core, tier-1 assets Transaction would provide Alumina ...

A new treatment method for waste products generated in the aluminum smelting industry has been developed at Portland Aluminium, based in Victoria, Australia. The waste, spent pot lining has been the ...

US Aluminium producer Alcoa will spend almost $30 million trialling a new technology at its processing plant in Western Australia that uses on site renewables rather than fossil fuels to turn bauxite ...

Aluminum has been mass produced the same way since 1886, when it was pioneered by Alcoa’s founder, Charles Hall. The process involves applying a strong electrical current to alumina, which removes ...

Aluminum is one of our most widely-used metals, found in everything from beer cans to airplane parts. However, the lightweight metal doesn’t occur naturally, and producing it is a complex process. The ...

A Purdue University engineer has developed a method that uses an aluminum alloy to extract hydrogen from water for running fuel cells or internal combustion engines, and the technique could be used to ...

Most of the excellent research that has looked at Australia’s alumina sector has focussed on the potential reduction in carbon emissions. However, as an electricity analyst what I see is an absolutely ...

Using a novel Solid Phase Processing approach, a research team eliminated several steps that are required during conventional extrusion processing of aluminum alloy powders, while also achieving a ...
