Electrolytic aluminum enterprises in the previous substantial reduction in production, so that alumina prices high alumina company finally can not afford to lose.

Affected by the poor downstream demand, the domestic electrolytic aluminum enterprises experienced a sharp reduction in production in October and December last year. By the end of the year, the national production scale has reached about 4 million 300 thousand tons, and the total reduction in December is about 1 million 700 thousand tons.

The reduction of electrolytic aluminum directly affects the demand for alumina. The reduction of the capacity of 1 million 700 thousand tons of electrolytic aluminum means that more than 3 million tons of alumina production capacity needs to be reduced simultaneously.

      受到過剩產(chǎn)能激增的影響，國(guó)內(nèi)氧化鋁價(jià)格受到極大壓力，分析人士認(rèn)為，中鋁的此次調(diào)價(jià)也是順勢(shì)而行。而目前國(guó)內(nèi)氧化鋁的實(shí)際運(yùn)行價(jià)格則已經(jīng)跌至1800元/噸左右。

Earlier, Chinalco has announced that the company has reduced alumina production in higher cost enterprises since late October 2008.

According to statistics from China business network, the domestic alumina production capacity has been reduced by more than 7 million tons before the price drop. In the future, about 3 million tons of capacity readjustment is needed.

According to the latest understanding, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong have cut down production capacity of more than 2 million 200 thousand tons of alumina.
