Aluminium SmelterAzerbaijanCO₂ reported

Ganja aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in Azerbaijan with a reported capacity of 50,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by Azerbaijan Industrial Corp. It emits about 96,673 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 22,534 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% below the median aluminium smelter.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 50,000 t of alumina/aluminum، يكون Ganja aluminium plant حوالي متوسط aluminium smelter في Azerbaijan (50,000 t of alumina/aluminum). القطاع الفرعي: aluminum. كـ aluminium smelter، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 600–900°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تستخدم مصاهر الألومنيوم تيارات كهربائية كبيرة لتحسين الألومينا إلى ألومنيوم مذاب فوق 900°C، ويجب أن يتدفق المعدن الساخن عبر البواتق ومعدات الصب.
