Aluminium Oxide Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Asia

Aluminium oxide prices had an oscillating trend in the first quarter of 2023. This phase observed problems such as excess supply and downward-moving trading activities, due to which the price trend of aluminium oxide plunged. However, as the quarter progressed, consumer interest returned in the sector, and soon, the prices surged and were able to maintain their momentum in the second quarter, too. Further, the tight supply of bauxite in Australia helped in the growth of export rates and, thus, also contributed significantly to the rise in the prices of aluminium oxide.

Europe

In the initial phase of the first quarter, the trend of aluminium oxide prices was uncertain as the consumers seemed reluctant to place big orders. The prices also seemed to be adversely affected by the restricted supply from Russia. However, during the end phase of the quarter, the market momentum improved on account of strong trading activities and a fall in the level of inventories. This momentum was further carried forward in the second quarter, too. In addition to this, frequent disruptions in the supply chains in the midst of high demand for aluminium oxide also contributed significantly to the upsurge in the price trend of aluminium oxide.

North America

Initially, in the first quarter, the poor progress of the downstream sector and consistent incline in inventory levels proved to be a challenge for the prices of aluminium oxide. But soon, the growing procurement rates and fall in the mining activities in North America influenced the prices of aluminium oxide positively and led to the rise in its price trend. This upswing movement continued till the mid of the second quarter, after which the improvement in the mining sector of developing countries and their declined dependence on North American imports affected the price trend of aluminium oxide negatively.

About

Aluminium oxide is a white crystalline solid with extreme hardness. The compound also has excellent corrosion resistance and thermal stability, thus making it an essential component in refractories and conditions involving high-temperature conditions. It also aids in providing electrical insulation and thermal conductivity. Aluminium oxide also has the ability to act as catalyst support and also finds its applications in the production of abrasion-resistant coatings and medical devices.

Production Process

The process is initiated by the extraction of bauxite and then subjecting it to washing and drying. In the next step, it is dissolved in the caustic soda and lime solution to get a slurry. The solution is then heated to approximately 145 °C. The slurry is cooled down by passing it through a number of flash tanks, which results in the separation of impurities as they settle at the bottom of the tank. After filtering the liquor, with the help of sodium aluminate and precipitation process, alumina hydrate is produced, which on heating gives aluminium oxide as the final product.
