Development of a technical process for the use of domestic clays as raw material for the aluminum industry
Abstract
The technical and economic feasibility of the extraction of reduction-grade alumina from German clay (from the Upper Palatinate) was examined by experimental work and by the evaluation of numerous information from other sources. Concepts are developed for the processing of domestic clays and the economy of the process is discussed. The clay deposits are regarded as a valuable raw material source. Before transfering this technology of alumina extraction to large-scale production, further process engineering and optimization are needed.
