On February 26th, Chinalco Henan Branch went through the research and production of nearly one month, and the newly-developed first batch of "double five" aluminum hydroxide was officially put on the market. This is another major breakthrough in the company's overall advancement of the industrialization of high-quality chemical alumina, high-purity ultrafine aluminum hydroxide, high-purity lanthanum and neodymium alloys.

"Double Five" aluminum hydroxide is mainly used in the fluoride salt dry production process. Its advantage is that it can effectively reduce the electrolytic temperature, increase the current efficiency, reduce the power consumption, and increase the annual value. More than 15 million yuan.

Since 2008, the Henan branch has been adhering to the market orientation, increasing the intensity of deep processing and personalized product research and development, continuing to optimize the production process, and striving to increase the added value of products; strengthening communication with customers and increasing linkage between production and sales, and doing everything possible to satisfy customers. The individual needs of the product. At present, the company's "Xueshan Brand" carbon anode products have reached 38 varieties, and their important physics and chemistry indexes such as CO2 reactivity, air permeability and trace elements have reached the international advanced level. The products have the characteristics of stable quality, small fluctuations, etc. The anode market has highlighted a strong brand effect. After successfully occupying European and American markets such as the United States, Germany, and Russia, the products also spread across continents other than Africa, becoming the preferred choice for international aluminum giants such as Alcoa, Alcan, and Dubai Aluminum. The total export volume of products in 2008 was 125,000 tons, and the export volume ranked first in the country.

As a high value-added product of alumina production, the research and development of metal yttrium series products have also made new breakthroughs. Based on the original production of high-purity yttrium, the company has successfully developed eight categories of 15 types including yttrium oxide, lanthanum chloride, yttrium nitrate and yttrium alloy. The low melting point yttrium alloy has achieved new breakthroughs in R&D, and the product is now available. Successfully entered Japan, the Netherlands, the United States and other countries or regions. In 2008, it exported 17 tons of metal gallium. In addition, 8 results, such as "Small Particle High Density Carbon Anode Crack Control Technology" and "Trimethyl Gallium Preparation Technology", have reached the international advanced level. The chemical alumina was also based on the original production of refractory grade a-alumina. Through adjustment of the production process, ceramic grade low-sodium a-alumina and other products were successfully developed.

While strengthening product development, the company adopted raw materials, exchange rates, export tax rebates and a basic sliding price model to ensure the profitability of carbon anodes and metal gallium. Implement contracts and port shipments ahead of schedule, expedite the progress of contract execution, maximize export rebate policy, and maximize export profits. The accumulated foreign exchange earned through exports for the year amounted to 91.23 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 77.2% year-on-year, and a record high.

On the basis of major breakthroughs in “double five” aluminum hydroxide, Chuxi Hui, general manager of Chinalco Henan Branch stated that in the future, we will increase investment in R&D, commit ourselves to research and development of high value-added products, and strive to oxidize high-quality chemicals. New breakthroughs have been made in the industrialization of aluminum, high-purity ultra-fine aluminum hydroxide, high-purity antimony and tantalum alloys, and new profit growth points have been formed.
