Abstract
Fly ash is an industrial by-product generated during the combustion of coal in power plant. In Inner-Mongolia, the content of Al2O3 in fly ash can reach as high as 50wt%. In this paper, alumina was attracted through soda-sintering process, the work was based on six sigma approach in order to optimize the sintering variables, analysis of various critical process parameters and the interaction among them was carried out with response surface method- logy (RSM), the optimized parameters obtained using RSM were then tested to meet the predicted parameters.
