You can't. Alt attributes belong in the HTML...not in the CSS file.

If you want your banner image to exist solely in the CSS file, then you need
to use an image replacement technique:

Though, personally, I find it usually better to just put the image in your
HTML to begin with:

<h1><img src="images/ban_hang_1.gif" alt="your header text"></h1>

As Darrel said, you can't.
You can go with his suggestion or use an Image Replacement technique that
lets you plug real text, like this one:
