With more than six decades of industrial expertise, Noranda Bauxite has operated as a productive enterprise with a focus on the safety of the environment and surrounding community.

A sedimentary rock, bauxite is the leading global industrial raw material for aluminum products. It is the basis for creating alumina, a white powder used for making aluminum in metal plants. At Noranda, high-quality bauxite (with less than 2 percent silica impurity) is mined and shipped in granular size to minimize freight costs.

Noranda Alumina Signs LOI Cemtech

A highly respected Florida metals and recycling business executive with experience serving in senior management positions, David D’Addario is the chairman and CEO of New Day Aluminum LLC. With over three decades of experience in the metals industry, David D’Addario has overseen major transactions including those of subsidiaries Noranda Bauxite and Noranda Alumina.

Noranda Alumina, a subsidiary of New Day Aluminum LLC, recently signed a letter of intent with Cemtech Materials Corporation with the aim of selling 60,000 tons of bauxite residue beginning in the last quarter of 2020. Under the deal, bauxite residue will be utilized in the cement production process as a substitute for iron (Fe) and subsequently replacing other iron-bearing raw materials that were currently in use. Based in Gramercy, Louisiana, Noranda Alumina produces both smelter-grade and chemical-grade alumina, which is sold to buyers who utilize it for aluminum and other metallurgical uses.

An approval from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) paved the way for Noranda Alumina to supply bauxite residue to cement producers.

An Overview of Bauxite and Its Uses

A resident of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, David D’Addario has been working in the metals industry for the last three decades. Since 2001, David D’Addario has served as the CEO and chairman of New Day Aluminum, LLC, which specializes in mining and processing metals such as aluminum and bauxite.

Bauxite is an ore that is rich in aluminum and has different uses in the production of refractory materials that are used in various types of cement and chemicals. Refractory materials are also used in the steel industry, fuel, and building materials.

Bauxite comes in the form of a sedimentary rock before it is processed. This ore is classified into two different types, gibbsite and boehmite, which use low-heat and high-heat processing methods, respectively. Gibbsite is the more valuable of the two types. This is due to the lower melting temperature of the metal. Alumina is extracted from bauxite ore through various chemical processes.
