What is Alumina?
Alumina. Chemical formula Al2O3. The ionic crystalline compound is used for refractory materials.

Diaspore and bauxite (Al2O3*3H2O), which are both mineral aluminates, are used in the production of industrial alumina. Al2O3 with high purity is prepared mainly by chemical means. Al2O3 contains many isomorphous crystalline forms. Currently, there are over 10 different types of crystals. They have different properties. At temperatures above 1300 deg C, they are almost entirely converted to a-Al2O3.

Modified alumina of ultra high purity with rare earths

Shanghai Jiaotong University has put in operation the pilot project of rare Earth modified high-purity sapphires, independently developed and researched by its R&D group. For the first time, alumina high purity products with 5N (purity greater 99.999%) were produced on this production line. The high-purity product is the top-end of the aluminum industry, and it's the primary raw material for artificial sapphire. The new project is a replacement for the lack of a high-purity international aluminum preparation technology. It will also complete the entire line in the high purity aluminum and artificial sapphire industries.

The R&D team in China has created the first ultra-high purity aluminum purification technology and equipment that is protected by complete intellectual property rights. Professor Zhang Wei is the team leader. He said that this new technology perfectly combines a high-purity alumina filtration process with specialized technology for preparing rare earth materials. After adding rare earth to the product, it not only improved toughness but also achieved color brightness and hardness. Now that the technology has improved greatly, it is possible to produce 5N ultrahigh-purity and 6N ultrahigh-purity ingots.
According to the current understanding, high-purity aluminium hydrolysis alumina with purity levels greater than 5N are the primary raw materials for manufacturing sapphire substrates. Sapphire is the substrate of choice for more than 90 percent of LED manufacturers worldwide. High-purity Alumina is also widely utilized in the manufacture of lithium battery separators materials, high end phosphors catalysts and semiconductor ceramics.

Pan Tianlong said that this new product wasn't available on the marketplace. Our ultra high purity aluminum ingots close the gap in production technology. The aluminum industry is our upstream. Chain, downstream the artificial sapphire chain. First time, this product connects these two industrial chains seamlessly. Next, we'll gradually move products onto mobile phone screens, high-end camera lenses, and ceramic targets. And many other production uses."
