Calcined Bauxite

Calcined Bauxite is a high-quality, heat-treated form of bauxite ore, produced by the calcination process where bauxite is heated to high temperatures (approximately 800-1600°C) in rotary kilns or furnaces. This process removes moisture and converts the material into a more stable form, enhancing its hardness, thermal resistance, and chemical stability. Calcined Bauxite is widely used in the production of refractory materials, abrasives, and other industrial applications due to its high alumina content and robust physical properties.

  • Product Category: Abrasive & Material
  • Key Features:
  • High Alumina Content: Contains a high percentage of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), typically 85-90%, providing a superior material for high-temperature and abrasive applications.
  • Thermal Stability: Capable of withstanding high temperatures without significant degradation, making it suitable for use in refractory applications and environments subject to thermal stress.
  • Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to acids and alkalis, ensuring durability and stability in aggressive chemical environments.
  • Hardness: Offers significant hardness, making it suitable for abrasive applications and as a raw material in the production of abrasives and refractories.
  • Versatility: Can be processed into various forms, including granules, powders, and sintered products, to meet specific industrial requirements.
Applications:

Refractories: Used in the manufacture of refractory bricks, castables, and other high-temperature materials for furnaces, kilns, and reactors.

Abrasives: Employed in the production of abrasive materials such as grinding wheels, cutting tools, and blasting media due to its hardness and durability.

Ceramics: Applied in the production of advanced ceramic materials and components due to its high alumina content and thermal stability.
