Australia's Alcore eyes Al flouride for smelters

摘要

Australian aluminium technology firm Alcore is planning to produce aluminium fluoride for Australia and New Zealand's aluminium sectors, to cut the reliance on imports that mainly come from China. Aluminium waste will be used to produce aluminium fluoride, which is an additive in the aluminium smelting process, Alcore said in a presentation outlining its aim to set up a 10,000 t/yr plant close to an existing aluminium smelter supplied by hydropower at Bell Bay in Tasmania.
