Production In 2022, one alumina refinery produced an estimated 1.2 Mt of alumina from imported bauxite in the United States, slightly more than the amount produced in 2021. The 1.2-Mt/a refinery in Gramercy, LA, owned by Noranda Alumina LLC, produced alumina mostly for use in aluminum smelters, but also produced specialty alumina. The 500-kt/a refinery …
