The National Electrolytic Aluminum Corporation Transforms the Development Mode and Accelerates the Transformation of the “Power Tiger” Image

Liu Xiangmin, Chairman of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association’s Aluminum Branch, attended the National Electrolytic Aluminum Energy-saving and Emission Reduction Technology and Experience Exchange Conference held on April 15. For the past few years, the electrolytic aluminum project bank will not provide loans, and all electrolytic aluminum companies will not be listed. , "Aluminum Electrolysis" has become synonymous with the state's macro-control, Liu Xiangmin called on the national electrolytic aluminum companies to take positive action to guide the scientific development concept, change the mode of development, reshape the "electrolytic aluminum" image.
Liu Xiangmin analyzed that at present, energy conservation and emission reduction have become China's basic national policy, and every electrolytic aluminum company must pay close attention to it. Electrolytic aluminum industry in energy-saving emission reduction, compared with developed countries, there is a certain gap, many companies have great potential in energy saving. For the same electrolysis equipment, the difference in current consumption between different companies is 400-500 kWh, and the current consumption of the entire industry varies by 1,000 kWh. There are technical issues here, and more importantly, management issues. Advanced technology and equipment must have advanced energy consumption indicators.
When summing up the development of the electrolytic aluminum industry, Liu Xiangmin said that the electrolytic aluminum industry is the industry with the highest degree of correlation with the national economy, and it has played a very important role in the country’s economic development, especially in the aerospace, military, automotive, and construction industries. He emphasized that although electrolytic aluminum production consumes energy, at the same time it is also an energy-saving product and an energy-carrying product. In recent years, the electrolytic aluminum industry has responded to the national call for energy-saving and emission-reduction and has completely eliminated backward production processes and bid farewell to the era of occupational diseases caused by smoke. At the same time, the electrolytic aluminum industry has continuously increased its investment in science and technology and the upgrading of its equipment. In the past six years, the total AC power consumption of aluminum ingots in the industry has dropped by nearly 1,000 kwh, and the fluoride consumption has decreased by one-third. It should be said that the development of the electrolytic aluminum industry in China has always been a process of energy saving and emission reduction. The production technology of the entire industry has approached the international advanced level.
In response to the next step of energy saving and emission reduction in the electrolytic aluminum industry, Liu Xiangmin called for the industry to attach great importance to the following aspects: First, it is necessary to study the development mode of the electrolytic aluminum industry, and to gradually shift the electrolytic aluminum industry from resource input to efficiency-driven. The second is to strengthen the refined system management, put energy conservation and emission reduction work into every link of production, and benefit from management. The third is to stand at the height of the industry and the world and accelerate the upgrading of equipment. Through the combination of scientific and technological investment and industrial chain, the entire aluminum industry wastes will be recycled. Fourth, respect original technology and strengthen industry self-discipline. We must respect the technological innovation and labor achievements of the enterprise and truly make the original technology of the enterprise used by the industry, so as to improve the overall technical level of the electrolytic aluminum industry as soon as possible and completely change the image of the industry.
At the meeting, Chinalco Guangxi Branch, Yunnan Aluminum, Nanping Aluminum and other companies introduced their experiences in energy conservation and emission reduction. China Literature Association, Vice President of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association presided over the meeting.
