Alcore processing plant, Australia
Name of the Project
Alcore processing plant.
Location
Bell Bay, in Tasmania, Australia.
Project Owner/s
Australian Bauxite and subsidiary Alcore.
Project Description
Australia’s aluminium smelters rely completely on imported aluminium fluoride, exporting more than 26 000 t in the past 12 months.
Alcore plans to be the first domestic producer of aluminium fluoride using a world-first process to produce aluminium fluoride from the recycling of aluminium smelter waste and from Australian Bauxite’s gibbsite-rich clean bauxite.
An economic assessment of the Alcore processing plant has shown that it is in the lowest-cost quartile of global aluminium fluoride production.
The project will start with a production module of 10 000 t/y, steadily building up to five production modules of the same size, and ultimately producing 50 000 t/y of aluminium fluoride.
