Why is aluminum in the Earth's crust more abundant than iron, while iron is less expensive than aluminum?

2022-07-15


Although the reserves of aluminum in the earth's crust are more than iron, but the production process of aluminum is more complex than iron, aluminum is a more active metal element, smelting needs to pass the electrolysis method, the cost of consumption in the entire production process is higher than iron, so the price of aluminum is higher than iron.

Aluminum smelting method and process introduction

There are four links in the production process of aluminum to form a complete industrial chain: aluminum ore mining - alumina production - electrolytic aluminum smelting - aluminum processing and production.

It is estimated that the global demand for battery aluminum foil in 2025 is about 1 million tons

2021-12-17


Everbright Securities recently reported that it is expected that the global demand for battery aluminum foil in 2025 will be about 1 million tons, with a compound growth rate of 48% in 2021-2025. Among them, the amount of power lithium battery to battery aluminum foil is 715,000 tons; The amount of battery aluminum foil in the field of energy storage lithium batteries is 174,000 tons; The consumption of lithium battery aluminum foil in the field of 65,000 tons; In 2025, the demand for sodium-ion batteries for battery aluminum foil is 42,000 tons.

Global primary aluminum production in April was 5.628 million tons

2021-07-15


Data from the International Aluminum Association show that global primary aluminum production in April 2023 was 5.628 million tons, compared with 5.609 million tons in the same period last year, and the previous month was revised to 5.813 million tons. The average daily production of primary aluminum in April was 187,600 tons, compared with 187,500 tons in the previous month. China's primary aluminum production is expected to be 3.315 million tons in April, 3.313 million tons in the same period last year, the previous month revised to 3.426 million tons.

Does the surface of aluminum alloy conduct electricity after oxidation?

2021-06-17


The answer is non-conductive, oxidation is on the surface of the aluminum alloy shell, generate a layer of dense oxide film, the composition of this layer of oxide film is alumina Al203, this layer of oxide film, itself is non-conductive, if you want to finish oxidation, so that the product has conductive performance, we generally need to do passivation treatment, the so-called passivation treatment, That is, the surface of the aluminum alloy contains a complex agent under the condition of generating a stable compound, and with its film-forming stability, the formation of a firm, dense and corrosion-resistant passivation film.

Aluminum cans are the most recycled beverage containers

2020-07-09


This study was completed by Eunomia Research and Consulting, a well-known research institution commissioned by the International Aluminum Association. According to reports, the study is the first public study to comprehensively analyze the extent of recycling and loss of 3 types of beverage containers in different regions. The five countries and regions selected for this study, Brazil, China, Japan, the United States and Europe, cover about 70% of the global aluminum can market, about 70% of the carbonated soft drink, water and hot-fill plastic bottle market, and about 50% of the global aluminum can market. glass bottle market.
