Aluminium Smelter in China. Approximate location 23.69092, 104.71452.

Aluminium SmelterChinaCO₂ reported

Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture is an aluminium smelter in China with a reported capacity of 3,193,852 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. By capacity it ranks #13 of 141 aluminium smelters tracked in China. It emits about 4,333,419 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,010,121 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 35% below the median aluminium smelter.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 3,193,852 t of alumina/aluminum، يكون Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture أعلى بكثير من متوسط aluminium smelter في China (372,000 t of alumina/aluminum). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 26% أقل من متوسط aluminium smelter. 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.
