1Figures represent calcined alumina or the total of calcined alumina plus the calcined equivalent of hydrate when available;-
exceptions, if known, are noted.
2World totals, U.S. data, and estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.-
3Table includes data available through July 28, 2011.
4Reported figure.
5Data presented are for alumina used principally for specialty applications. Information on aluminum hydrate for all uses is-
not adequate to formulate estimates of production levels. Production of aluminum hydroxide, in metric tons: 2006-720,000;--
2007-700,000; 2008-700,000; 2009-710,000; and 2010-700,000.------------- .
