Abstract
Superfine precipitated alumina trihydrate is a very promising and environmentally acceptable filler and flame retardant for plastic and rubber materials, for paper, cardboard, paints, and as a component in ceramics and polishing compounds. For these applications, the most important product qualities are a high thermal stability (dehydration temperature ≥200 °C), brightness (≥95%), fine average particle size (0.8–2.0 μm), and the low alkali content (soluble Na2O ≤ 0.2%). Total consumption in the world exceeds 800,000 tons a year at the average price of 1000 €/t, and an annual growth rate of 4.3%. The properties of superfine precipitated alumina obtained by RUSAL’s carbonation technology is analysed and compared in this paper to similar products obtained by conventional technology involving the Bayer process.
