Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Requirements for special-purpose alumina for the ceramic, electronic and refractory industries are considered. Analysis and comparison of acidic methods for preparing alumina from the point of view of efficiency, adaptability and production safety are provided. The risks of alumina acidic production methods are estimated. The advantage of the sulfuric acid method versions is substantiated.
