The Tomago aluminium smelter is located at Tomago, New South Wales, Australia, approximately 13 km west of Newcastle, within the Port Stephens LGA. The smelter has a production capacity of 590,000 tonnes of aluminium (ingot, billet and slab) per year. [1] It is operated by Tomago Aluminium Company, an independently managed joint venture owned ...
This is a list of countries by primary aluminium production in 2023. [1] Primary aluminium is produced from aluminium oxide which is obtained from bauxite and excludes recycled aluminium. Only countries with a minimum production of 100,000 tonnes are listed.
Bauxite is a raw material used primarily in the production of aluminium. The bauxite ore is refined into alumina before being smelted into aluminium. [3] Australia is known for its high-grade ore, especially in the Weipa and Gove deposits. [2] The quality of bauxite ore is determined by its available alumina (Al 2 O 3) content.
PITTSBURGH-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Alcoa Corporation, a global leader in bauxite, alumina and aluminum, today announced that its portfolio of bauxite mines and alumina refineries in Western Australia have ...
The Portland aluminium smelter is located at Portland, Victoria, Australia.

A 2022 World Economic Forum report anticipated that 2 to 3 million tons of primary aluminium production would move annually to China's southwest, mostly Yunnan, from 2020 to 2025, tapering to ...
In 1981 a third potline was approved, increasing production capacity to 135,000 t/y of aluminium and adding another 120 centre-worked prebake cells with anode manufacturing capabilities, pollution controls and support facilities. [1] This was the final stage of the smelter's expansion, generating its greatest capacity and efficiency. [1]
Global aluminium production grew at its slowest pace in a decade in 2018, and most of that was in the first half of the year. Output totalled 64.34 million tonnes, according to the International ...
