The Nonferrous Metals Industry Association at the Chinese province of Henan said Monday that thirteen aluminum smelters in the region are about to idle a total of 700,000 tonnes of primary aluminum annual capacity in coming month because of low prices and high power costs. The shutdown would slow Henan's annual output to below 4 million tonnes, or about 20% of China's total production.
