A comprehensive review indicates that total worldwide in place capacity for the production of bauxite and bauxite-alternative ores currently is approximately 133 million metric tons per year. This includes the annual capacity to produce 123 million metric tons of metallurgical grade bauxite, 7 million metric tons of bauxite used for nonmetal applications, and 3 million metric tons of alumina equivalent non-bauxitic materials (alunite and nepheline) for alumina production. Current total world alumina production capacity amounts to about 51 million metric tons per year. This includes the annual capacity to provide approximately 47 million metric tons per year of smelter-grade alumina for the production of primary aluminum metal and nearly 4 million metric tons for nonmetal specialty applications.
