When bricks contain 70%-73% alumina, they are called mullite bricks. These bricks contain very little silica modifications of tridymite or cristo-balite. As this much alumina content cannot be obtained from naturally occurring minerals, these bricks are made by mixing in bauxite. When we want 100% alumina bricks, bauxite is used with a small amount of clay. Clay serves as the bonding agent. Bauxite powder is prepared after fusing. The fused bauxite is crushed and ground. Mullite bricks contain mullite and corundum. As seen in Figure 23.1, these bricks remain solid at up to 1810°C. 

Most metals will precipitate as the hydroxide in the presence of concentrated NaOH. Metals forming amphoteric hydroxides, however, remain soluble in concentrated NaOH due to the formation of higher-order hydroxo-complexes. For example, Zn and AP will not precipitate in concentrated NaOH due to the formation of Zn(OH)3 and Al(OH)4. The solubility of AP in concentrated NaOH is used to isolate aluminum from impure bauxite, an ore of AI2O3. The ore is powdered and placed in a solution of concentrated NaOH where the AI2O3 dissolves to form A1(0H)4T Other oxides that may be present in the ore, such as Fe203 and Si02, remain insoluble. After filtering, the filtrate is acidified to recover the aluminum as a precipitate of Al(OH)3.

Alumina powder is made from bauxite, a hydrated aluminium oxide with the formula AlfOH), of which there are large deposits in Australia, the Caribbean and Africa. After crushing and purification, the bauxite is heated at 1150°C to decompose it to alumina, which is then milled and sieved... 

Cracking catalysts include synthetic and natural sihca-alumina, treated bentonite clay, fuller s earth, aluminum hydrosUicates, and bauxite. These catalysts are in the form of beads, pellets, and powder, and are used in a fixed, moving, or fluidized bed. The catalyst is usually heated and hfted into the reactor area by the incoming oil feed which, in mrn, is immediately vaporized upon contact. Vapors from the reactors pass upward through a cyclone separator which removes most of the entrained catalyst. The vapors then enter the fractionator, where the desired products are removed and heavier fractions are recycled to the reactor. 

This lower-ranking chemical, which has nowhere near the production volume of sulfuric and phosphoric acids, is consistently in the top 50 and is very important to some industries. Aluminum sulfate is manufactured from aluminum oxide (alumina, bauxite). The crude ore can be used. A mixture with sulfuric acid is heated at 105-110°C for 15-20 hr. Filtration of the water solution is followed by evaporation of the water to give the product, which is processed into a white powder.

Aluminum (properly called aluminium, but the former name prevails in North America) is found in combination with Si and 0 as aluminosilicates in rocks, and as its ore, bauxite. The metal finds use in vehicles, aircraft, packaging, cookware, construction materials, etc., while aluminum salts are used in baking powders, water treatment, and dyeing of textiles. Aluminum oxide is widely used as a refractory and as a support for catalysts. Aluminosilicate catalysts such as zeolites are of key importance in the chemical and petroleum industries. 

In nature aluminium oxide is mostly mined as the minerals bauxite and laterite, but these as extremely impure. Most bauxite is purified according to the Bayer process which removes the oxides of iron(III), silica and titanium. This takes place by autoclaving the bauxite with sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. The precipitated aluminium hydroxide is subsequently heated, or calcined. Calcination involves a heat treatment of a powder as a result of which the latter breaks down ...

Solution preparation of ceramic powders is often thought to be a speciality technique for small lots of high purity ceramic materials. High quality powders can be (obtained, and solution technique are chosen to produce many of the powders used in the ceramic industry in large quantities. A major example is AI2O3, most of which is produced when the mineral bauxite is dissolved in an alkaline solution and hydrated oxides are precipitated from the solution ...

Iron, copper, and antimony chloride,26 titanium chloride (in pentachloro-ethane as solvent),27 and calcium chloride28 have been used as catalysts favoring addition of Cl2 to ethylene to yield dichloroethane at elevated temperatures. In the presence of iron-containing bauxite as powder on pumice (catalyst I) or of bauxite grains the size of a pea (catalyst II), a greater proportion of higher chlorination products is formed at low than at higher temperatures.29...
