At present, China's aluminum industry current situation, there are still many problems: unreasonable industrial structure, backward technology and equipment, the product manufacturing cost is high, ore resources obvious depletion of resources and energy consumption high, serious pollution problems have become the main factors restricting the further development of aluminum industry in China. Moreover, in the allocation of resources, industrial concentration, technology and equipment level, product competitiveness, technological innovation and other aspects of the world's aluminum industry compared with the world, there is still a certain gap. Specific analysis is as follows:

More prominent structural contradictions

Main performance in: industrial structure is irrational, low level, product structure, product chain is short, alumina production capacity is insufficient, the rapid expansion of production capacity, aluminum production capacity is weak, product added value is low, the lack of electrolytic aluminum and aluminum processing products, production management, production and distribution, the industrial layout is not reasonable, the capital flow is poor, the optimization of production factors.

Shortage of raw materials, energy shortage, serious environmental pollution

Aluminium industry is a kind of resource industry, which is based on the development and utilization of bauxite, energy and power. Compared with the production capacity, the supply of bauxite resources in China has been in a high degree of tension, the situation is very grim bauxite resources. China's bauxite resources endowment is poor, more than 90% of the bauxite resources of sedimentary bauxite ores are diaspore, belongs to the high aluminum, high silicon iron and insoluble low grade bauxite and concentrated in Shanxi, Henan, Guizhou, Guangxi.

Due to the low grade of bauxite in China, it is difficult to process, and the average energy consumption of the alumina plant produced by the combination method and sintering process is about 2~3 times of the foreign countries. With the backward equipment and manufacturing level, the main product unit energy consumption is higher than foreign advanced level.

The red mud produced in the process of alumina production, only a small part of the comprehensive utilization. Take up a lot of red mud stockpiling liquid can pollute groundwater. CF4, SiF4 and other fluoride emissions in the production process of electrolytic aluminum, the influence range of the factory area is large, especially in adverse weather conditions, pollution accident may occur. Carbon anode production of asphalt smoke contains carcinogens. Waste aluminum recycling process and environmental pollution is more serious, some of the construction of renewable aluminum enterprises on the hillside to the pollution of wastewater into the farmland and water. In the process of dismantling waste electrical appliances, cables, etc., in addition to obtain useful resources, but also can not use the remaining 2%~5% waste.

"Small, many, scattered in the recycled aluminum enterprises". Recycled aluminum industry enterprises, small and scattered, and many workshops of the family enterprise; low level of technology, large waste of energy and resources, serious environmental pollution; recovery and the final sales price distortions, and the price difference is larger, the science and technology development is weak; due to the complexity of scrap metal resources, import commodity inspection, pricing is complicated, and the decrease due to production and processing enterprises of VAT deduction, increase taxes, is not conducive to the upgrading of industry and development.
