He clarified: Aluminum ingots have been produced from this amount; Five thousand tons were exported to Turkey and the rest was consumed inside the country.

Aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)3 is known as mineral gibbsite in nature and is used to produce aluminum metal. This mineral is also used to produce refractory products, abrasives, ceramics, glass, metal glaze and electrocorundum.

About the financial circulation of Iran Alumina, Zare added: The entire financial cycle of this company is carried out in North Khorasan and in the banks of Jajarm city, and this financial cycle helps the economy of this region a lot.

He also stated about the supply of bauxite raw material for Iran’s alumina complex: the private sector now provides a part of this complex’s need for minerals, and this amount should be doubled this year.

Bauxite is a sedimentary rock that has high amounts of aluminum.

The CEO of Iran Alumina Complex stated that now the private sector provides only 10% of the bauxite needs of this complex and the rest is taken from the complex’s own mines. Different provinces supply a part of Iran’s alumina bauxite.

He continued: Bauxite needed by Iran’s alumina is supplied from private sector mines in North Khorasan, Tehran, Yazd, Semnan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyar Ahmad provinces.

Zare pointed out: The consumption of bauxite as a mineral raw material of this complex is one million tons per year, and according to this, this factory has reserves of mineral raw material for another 30 years.

Stating that four companies produce aluminum in the country, one of the advantages of Iran’s alumina complex is the production of alumina powder as the raw material of this product, he said: This complex is the only aluminum producer that also performs mining and has worked in the field of exploration and acquisition of bauxite reserves in different provinces.

In 2018, with the help of its exclusive technical know-how, Alumina Company started the production and supply of various types of special aluminum hydroxide, the production method of this product, based on the exclusive license and investment of Iran Alumina Company, to unique technical know-how to build a new production line. It has been converted in Jajarm alumina factory.

After countries such as Germany, Japan, America and South Korea, Iran became one of the few countries producing this range of materials with the quality required by the consumer market, and adding aluminum hydroxide to the formulation of compounds and combinations used for Making these types of products will create different properties in them, for example, hydrate is used as a flame retardant for thermoplastic resins (such as polyester, acrylic), rubber, epoxy resins, electric boards, wires and cables. will be

Iran Alumina in Jajarm city is a unique production unit and the only producer of alumina powder in the country. This product is used as a raw material for four production units including Iralco, Al-Mahdi, Salco, and ingot production in Jajarm.

Iran Alumina Complex is located in Jajarm city, 150 kilometers south of Bojnord and five kilometers north of Jajarm city, which was put into operation in 1380.

This industrial complex, which is the hub of aluminum powder production in the country, has had direct job opportunities for 3,540 people so far.
