Domestic Aluminum Resources:

Dilemmas Of Development

Volume I

Concerns about supply disruptions and price
gouging that could endanger aluminum produc-
tion in the United States have spurred research
in this country on processes to manufacture
aluminum from ores other than bauxite. The
United States has no large bauxite deposits
but it has plentiful resources of other alumi-
num ores if the technology can be developed
to use them economically. In the absence of
a successful technology, imports are projected
to increase.

Support for primary aluminum research, in-
cluding proprietary technologies, must replace
the Department of Interior's present approach.
The Bureau of Mines alumina research and de-
velopment program is fundamentally misdi-
rected. It is unlikely to

     - develop nonbauxitic aluminum re-
     sources,

     --reduce the costs of future aluminum
     manufacture, or

     --enhance supply security for existing
     aluminum smelters.
