•    Description:  Northeastern University is the cradle of the Chinese aluminum industry. It continues to make contributions in aluminum manufacturing R&D providing improvements in energy efficiency, green energy application, waste treatment, and advances in fundamental understanding. Some of these developments—including a new uneven novel structure cathode, methods for spent pot lining disposal, wind power for electrolysis, and improvements on interfacial phenomena—are discussed in this article. Furthermore, Northeastern University worked with Northeastern University Engineering and Research Institute Co., Ltd (NEUI) and other industry organizations to design and commercialize the world’s first and highest amperage potline. The key performances of this 600 kA technology are also given in this paper. A companion piece, "The Father of the Chinese Aluminum Industry – Professor Qiu Zhuxian," was published online at www.lightmetalage.com
