BEIJING - China’s primary aluminum output in August fell 0.5% from the previous month, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Monday, as unexpected outages at two key smelters dented production.
That was down from 2.984 million tonnes in July, the second-highest monthly total on record, and down 0.3% from a year earlier, the bureau said. Hongqiao’s smelting premises in eastern China’s Shandong province were hit by flooding over the weekend of Aug. 10 to 11 after Typhoon Lekima tore through the region, with the company ultimately saying its annual production would decrease by 200,000 tonnes to 300,000 tonnes as a result.
