Feedstock material fed to the calcination section of the plant consisted of aluminum chloride hexahydrate ("ACH") with a purity of approximately 4N7 (HPA equivalent), produced in the digestion and crystallization sections of the plant. The purity of the HPA produced using this source material was also approximately 4N7. This indicates that next to no impurities were picked up in the calcination section of the plant, a significant and better than expected result as an increase of impurities in the first few cycles was anticipated.
