Photo Georges Gobet. Alumina, also known as aluminium oxide, is the mid-point in the three-stage process of making aluminium which starts with mining bauxite ore which is refined into alumina that ...

Sodium aluminate forms through the chemical reaction of aluminum oxide with sodium hydroxide and water, as follows: The residues sink gradually to the bottom of the tank and are later removed. In the ...

An international team of scientists have combined cyclic-olefin copolymers with a powder of aluminum oxide to create a ...

When tested under high humidity at -12°C, the valleys of the macrotextured graphene oxide-coated surface resisted frost ...

The rally was supported by a surge in the price of alumina, or aluminium oxide, a form of refined ores used for making primary aluminium. The most traded front-month alumina contract on the ...

Silicon solar cells enjoy promising prospects in the photovoltaic industry and have attracted considerable attention. In particular, silicon solar cells with tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) ...

In contrast to most other batteries, in which the cathode and anode are immersed in a shared pool of liquid electrolyte, the ...

These include nitric oxide and nitrous oxide ... The zeolites used for this are composed of aluminum, oxygen and silicon atoms forming a kind of framework. Zeolites occur naturally—as minerals ...
