: Advanced process development for converting alumina hydrate into the final alumina product. Value for Professionals

: Sustainable mining practices, mineralogical assessments, and raw material quality.

Designed for materials scientists, metallurgists, and engineers in the aerospace and automotive sectors, the book serves as both a historical record and a current technical manual. It is organized into 13 subject sections, each beginning with an expert introduction to provide context on the evolution of the technology.

is a comprehensive historical anthology that compiles the most significant technical papers published on bauxite and alumina between 1963 and 2011. Edited by Don Donaldson and Benny E. Raahauge, this volume is the first in a definitive four-book series produced by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) to capture five decades of landmark research in the aluminum industry. Core Content & Scope

: Technical insights into digestion, solid/liquid separation, and precipitation yields.

: Detailed studies on removing organic compounds, silica supersaturation, and sodium (soda) incorporation in gibbsite crystals.

The volume features approximately of all alumina and bauxite papers originally published in the Light Metals proceedings, selected through a rigorous peer-review process for their long-term impact on the field. Spanning over 1,100 pages, the text covers:

The collection is widely regarded as a "springboard for future research," offering foundational knowledge necessary for developing new hydrometallurgical approaches and improving refinery efficiency.
