What are the alumina manufacturing processes? | IFRF
Alumina is also used as an abrasive, refractory, and as a catalyst substrate. Alumina is produced from naturally occurring Bauxite (~50% hydrated alumina) via the Bayer process. The final stage of this process requires the refined hydrated alumina, Al 2 O 3.3H 2 O, to be calcined at ~1100 o C to remove the bound water.
