Alumina powder output exceeds 138,000 tons in 7 months

TEHRAN - Production of alumina powder in Iran reached 138,859 tons in the first four months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20-October 21), according to the data released by the Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO).

Based on the IMIDRO data, the country’s seven-month production of alumina powder stood at 136,117 tons in the previous year.

Aluminum oxide, which is commonly called alumina, is an inert, odorless, white amorphous material often used in industrial ceramics.

Alumina is an important ceramic material for industrial applications. The numerous fields of application range from construction materials, to filling materials, as well as abrasives and catalysts.

In plants and mechanical engineering, alumina ceramics are mainly used for wear and corrosion protection.

The particle size distribution largely determines the application range and the quality of an alumina powder. Reliably identifying the differences in particle size is therefore an essential requirement of the measuring instrument.
