Alumina Hydrate Production Cost Reports

Alumina Hydrate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Alumina Hydrate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Alumina Hydrate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Alumina Hydrate with the chemical formula Al2O3.3H2O in a coarse form is Aluminium hydroxide or alumina trihydrate (ATH), which is aluminium's hydrated oxide. It is separated from bauxite ore via the Bayer process. In a fine form, alumina hydrate is derived after drying using mechanical mills and ceramic-lined ball mills. It is a source of alumina in glazes.

Coarse Alumina Hydrate has an average particle size ranging from 80-100 microns. Fine Alumina Hydrate particle size ranges between 5-15 microns. Its block crystals impart good chemical reactivity as they can react with acid as well as a base. It comes in a white (light-coloured) form and is a delicate and moist powder that has no odour. It is insoluble in water and organic liquids; however, it dissolves in mineral acids (inorganic acids) as well as caustic soda.

Alumina hydrate is mainly used for manufacturing several inorganic chemicals like Poly aluminium chloride, Sodium aluminate, Aluminium fluoride, Aluminium hydroxide gel, Non- ferric alum, Catalysts, and Glass. It is primarily used in kiln wash and wadding owing to its high melting point. Furthermore, it has wide use in infrastructure and automobile applications as it is used to ensure safety against fire-related incidents.

It has been used as a flame retardant, in electric wire insulation and as an effective coating in automobiles, which furthers the market expansion. In addition, it converts alumina into aluminium metal, which has many applications, such as foils, cans, and aeroplane parts, which are boosting the market expansion. Also, it finds use as an antacid which, upon being ingested, can buffer the pH within the stomach, which furthers the industry's development.
