Study on Site Selection Scheme for 1,600 kt/a Iranian Alumina Plant

in order to construct a 1,600 kt/a alumina plant with Guinean bauxite, two schemes for site selection are proposed by Iran: Iran or Guinea. If the former is adopted, the bauxite imported from Guinea, India or neighbouring countries can be used as raw materials for alumina production; the determination of site selection scheme for the most economic alumina production needs a lot of investigation and research, for which this paper carries out a study on the aspect of ore machinability, objective natural conditions and economic benefit, etc., to explore and find the best scheme.
