Group Chairman that the business segments of aluminium and copper were

 ADANI:

Adani acquired Ambuja and ACC from Swiss giant Holcim for $6.5 billion making
him India's second largest cement producer instantly just behind Birla-led UltraTech
cement. Both will vie to capture a bigger share market of India's growing
infrastructure pie.
The acquisition was swift even though UltraTech and JSW had also bid for Holcim's
stake. The company aims to become India's largest cement maker and will double
capacity to 140 MTPA (metric ton per annum) from the current 70 MTPA by 2030.
With fresh fund infusion of 200 billion rupees from new owners, the entity has
enough of a “war chest to scale up new expansions, organically or inorganically”.
The group is looking at buying Jaypee Group's cement business. The deal is expected
to be valued in the range of Rs 3,298-4,120 crore, an Economic Times report cited
people with knowledge of the matter as saying. If the deal goes through, it will further

cement Adani's position in the buildings-material space and on track to achieve the
goal of becoming the largest cement maker in the country.

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

How production process takes place in Hindalco Industries limited ?

This process uses a series of physical steps and high temperatures to extract and purify
copper from copper sulfide ores, in four basic steps:-

BBA The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Academic Year 2023-24

Page 43
Aditya Birla, Hindalco Industries Limited, IGT

 Froth flotation,
 Thickening,
 Smelting, and
 Electrolysis.

How is Copper Produced?

Copper is found across the Earth’s surface, mainly as copper minerals or in mixed ores
with other metals like zinc and lead. It is primarily mined through open-pit or
underground mining techniques. Open-pit mining, which accounts for approximately
90% of copper production, extracts ores near the earth’s surface via graduated steps that
lead into the earth’s crust.

When ore is too deep to mine via open-pit operations, underground mining may be
utilized, which involves digging shafts into the earth’s surface to allow machines or
explosives to separate the ore.

Once ore is extracted, it must be processed to achieve a high level of purity. Sulphide
ores undergo a five-step process:

 The ore is crushed into a fine sand to loosen the copper minerals;
 It is froth floated, where the sand is mixed with water and chemicals to
make the copper particles water repellent;
 Air is passed through the mixture, allowing the copper minerals to attach
to bubbles and float to the surface;
 The copper-rich froth is then thickened into a concentrate, which can be
smelted into a purer copper concentrate, called anode slabs; and
 These slabs are further refined through electrolysis into copper cathode
slabs, which are 99.99% pure copper.

Copper oxide ores undergo a three-step process to achieved high levels of

concentration:-

 In a process called heap leaching, sulphuric acid is used to separate copper from
the ore.

BBA The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Academic Year 2023-24

Page 44
Aditya Birla, Hindalco Industries Limited, IGT

 The solvent extraction stage moves the copper from the leach to a solvent,
removing impurities.
 Electro winning involves passing an electric current through last, electro winning
involves passing an electric current through the solvent to positively charge
copper ions, allowing them to be plated onto a cathode.
