By necessity, the OECD therefore looked at the recipients of support (i.e. industrial firms) rather than providers (i.e. governments). A focus on the recipient firms also enabled work to identify the significant below-market finance channelled through state enterprises acting as intermedi- aries (e.g. state banks and government guidance funds). To understand the scale and scope of below-market finance, the OECD drew on public sources to collect and analyse detailed financial information for 306 of the largest manufacturing firms in 13 industrial sectors, covering the period 2005-19 (see.

Domestically, the group focused on the material strategy of Three New (new infrastructure, new material and new applications) and One High (high value-added), accelerated the construction of aluminium lightweight materials, and built an automotive R&D centre for the development of lightweight aluminium materials in Shandong province.

According to media reports the company is expected to move another 1m tpy of primary aluminium capacity from Shandong province to Yunnan province. Already in 2019 Hongqiao committed to moving 2m tpy of smelting capacity to Yunnan. With this move, almost half of China Hongqiao’s primary aluminium capacity of 6.46m tpy will be located in Yunnan province. As to overseas business, the bauxite mines projects in Guinea and the construction of the Phase 2 alumina project in Indonesia make headway. China Hongqiao believes that the construction industry as well as high-end manufacturing industries, such as automobile and aviation, will maintain a stable growth in 2021 and beyond, due to the development of China’s economy. “With energy savings, reduced emissions and low carbon footprints being strongly advocated by society, aluminium for rail transport and lightweight aluminium for motor vehicles are expected to become key consumption growth for the aluminium processing industry”, says a company statement.

Groundbreaking for Chinese recycling park

In September 2020 the German-based Scholz Recycling Group and China Hongqiao agreed upon a joint venture to establish a recycling park in Binzhou, China. In February this year the companies celebrated FEATURES the groundbreaking of the project. “This flagship project will, after the &RVWHᎮHFWLYH city has now approved the construction, significantly contribute to the further development of the circular economy and to the high-quality Reliable improvement of the aluminium production,” said the Secretary of the Scalable Zouping Municipal Party committee, Pi Tai Tian.

The really special feature of the pyrolysis PreZero Pyral – 15 Years of Cyclic Economy by PreZero Pyral is the further utilization of the thermal energy produced. The organic Andreas Reissner, managing director of PreZero Pyral GmbH material burned onto the aluminium due to the heat is converted into a synthetic combustible gas which, after purification, is returned back to the process circuit as a source of energy. The drum is driven by the heat produced. Flue gas produced during this is passed through a boiler and cooled. The steam generated thereby in turn serves to produce current for supplying the mechanical equipment of the plant. This constantly repeated cyclic principle produces clean aluminium granulates by an environmentally friendly and resource-sparing process, which can be re-melted for use in many new products.

It is efficient, low-cost, requires modest levels of capital expenditure and closes the recycling loop for flexible packaging materials. It offers an economically and environmentally viable route to enable the almost complete recycling of flexible packaging waste by separating and extracting the high value materials contained within. Furthermore, the rapid heat transfer enabled by the Enval Process permits the construction of compact, modular units which are economically viable at relatively modest

Aufbereitung von Alu-Schrotten mittels Rotorshredder

Beim Recycling von Aluminium und Processing of aluminium Alu-Schrotten kommt es auf die Wahl der passenden Zerkleinerungslösung an. scrap with a rotor shredder Daher hat sich ein Allgäuer Entsorgungs- fachbetrieb für einen Rotorshredder von BHS-Sonthofen entschieden. Dieser zerkleinert das Aufgabematerial nicht nur, sondern löst Verbunde mit anderen Ma- terialien optimal auf. Das Ergebnis sind Fraktionen mit hohem Reinheitsgrad.

Aluminiumprofile, Zorba-Mischfraktionen oder Shredderschwerfraktionen – Alumini- umschrotte fallen in vielfältiger Form an. Für die Recyclinganlage ist vor allem die Verun- reinigung mit anderen Materialien eine große Herausforderung. Am Aluminium haften zum Beispiel Holz, Kunststoff oder andere Metal- le. Zu Beginn der Aufbereitung dieser Gemi sche muss daher eine Auftrennung der Ma- terialien erfolgen. Ein Allgäuer Entsorgungs- fachbetrieb, der im Jahr 30.000 Tonnen NE- Metalle recycelt, wandte sich daher auf der Suche nach einer neuen Recyclinglösung an BHS-Sonthofen.

ferrous metals with a very sensitive surface. The TDDS (Torque Dynamic Distribution System) is based on the application of special sliding couplings on each exit shaft of the drive unit distributor, as connecting elements to the shafts that transmit the movement to the flattening rolls. This system is based on the application of special sliding couplings on the exit of all shafts of the distributor and connected to the driven shafts. The sliding couplings operate cooled and lubricated in an oil bath and are designed to slide continuously and not only when the torque approaches the limit of the mechanical transmission group. The purpose of this system is not only to

The result is no sliding between the work rolls and the strip surface, and consequently a much longer life of the work rolls and no scratches on the strip surface. The distribution of the levelling torque among the rolls allows for lower power consumption (as all rolls contribute positively to the levelling process without braking and fighting against each other) and the possibility to process materials with ultra-high strength mechanical properties that otherwise could not be processed with a conventional levelling drive system, as the levelling torque through the most loaded rolls would break them. Since there is no sliding between the rolls and the strip, no lubrication or wet system is required on the levelling rolls to avoid scratches on the strip surface. ■

Aluminium smelting industry Hydro signs MoU with Everfuel on industrial-scale hydrogen

Hydro’s renewable hydrogen company has signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Everfuel. The two companies will seek to establish a framework for coordinated development, operation and optimization of hydrogen electrolysers based on renewable energy in Europe. Hydro’s new company aims to take a leading role as a developer, owner and operator in the hydrogen sector, enabling the switch from gas to renewable energy-based hydrogen at several of Hydro’s own sites as well as developing and serving the external market. Replacing natural gas for heating purposes in aluminium production with carbon-free hydrogen will contribute towards Hydro’s global commitment to reduce its GHG emissions by 30% by 2030.
