Aluminum is one of the most commonly used non-ferrous metals in the world, and the aluminum industry is a basic industry supporting the development of the national economy. Alumina is the main raw material for the production of electrolytic aluminum, 95% for electrolytic aluminum smelting and production, 5% for ceramics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and other fields. China is the world's largest alumina producer and consumer. 2022, domestic alumina production reached 81.86 million tons, accounting for more than half of the world, according to the average price in 2022 corresponding to a market size of more than 200 billion yuan.
