DESIGNER
& SUPPLIER
of a green technology
for ALUMINA
COMBINING ECO-NOMY AND ECO-LOGY THROUGH PRODUCTION OF 2 ECO-SOLUTIONS :
A high-yield beneficiated ore obtained by processing local bauxite waste
Tobermorite, a co-product, which can be used to make green cement, a fast-growing market that will significantly reduce carbon emissions
An innovative circular economy model: Green alumina and green cement
Cost efficiency and local sourcing: key to competitive advantage and independence
An agile, tailor-made process
French innovation, global ambition, underpinned by unique expertise
ALUMINUM, THE SECOND MOST WIDELY USED METAL IN THE WORLD
IS GENERALLY OBTAINED IN THREE SUCCESSIVE PHASES:
Bauxite ore obtained by
extraction
Alumina refined using the
Bayer process
Primary aluminum
obtained by electrolysis of
alumina using the Hall-
Héroult process
Aluminum: an essential metal in the ecological transition
Recycling, even ad infinitum, will not be enough to meet the growing needs of the coming decades
Quality bauxite supply: a major challenge
- Growing demand for alumina is putting pressure on bauxite supply
- High-quality local bauxite (with a high alumina content and no impurities) has become scarce and expensive
- IB2 solution: an economically and ecologically sound alternative to bauxite imports
IB2: fostering positive
environmental impact
across the bauxite –
alumina – aluminum
value chain
“IB2’s technical robustness combined with the agility of its model is helping alumina plants to produce by recycling bauxite waste”
“
Aluminium, a metal that can be recycled ad infinitum, is strategic for achieving low-carbon and waste recycling targets
The production of alumina from bauxite should contribute to this circular industry. Together, the specialists in the IB2 team have several centuries of accumulated experience in this field, on every continent
The outcome is IB2, pioneering the production of green alumina. This venture has been bolstered by fresh expertise, furthering and accelerating the rollout of these promising solutions
