Virtually all HPA is manufactured today by chemical companies, utilising high purity, expensive aluminium metal as feedstock and a chemical process known as the alkoxide process. This technique allows producers to consistently meet 4N+ grade spec, but at relatively high overall product cost.
Global total demand for HPA in 2022 was estimated at around 80,000 tpa but with robust CAGR’s of as much as 20% which promises as much as 200,000 tonnes of new global demand by the end of the decade.
On top of the strong growth in demand for LEDs and ceramic coated separators, HPA is going through its own adoption curve into a wider range of applications, opening new market opportunities every year.
Worth a look over SRN's announcement today. Science conducted by One of the HPA industry leaders (Demonstration Plant complete and operational in QLD) on future Mine over-burden.
