China Yunnan Aluminium to start up new alumina refinery in May

China's Yunnan Aluminium, which plans to start up its new 800,000 mt/year alumina refinery in May, expects commercial output in June, and hopes to ramp up to full capacity by July-August, a company source told Platts Thursday.

The refinery, when in operation, will mark the company's debut in alumina production.

"We plan to start trial output in May, and should see first output in June. But then it will take a couple more months to reach capacity, so actual output this year will probably reach about 300,000 mt," the source said.
