Redox processes in Bayer liquors

氧化铝及其生产的铝是澳大利亚最重要的矿物商品之一，年收入约为80亿美元。在出口方面。然而，澳大利亚生产商需要不断的技术改进才能保持全球竞争力。该项目解决了氧化铝生产中的一个关键问题--有机杂质的行为--这将有助于提高工业生产率和降低能源消耗。从这项研究中获得的见解还将最大限度地减少各种工艺排放对环境和职业健康的影响，使该行业更可持续。

Alumina, and the aluminium produced from it, are amongst Australia's most important mineral commodities, earning about $8 billion p.a. in exports. However, ongoing technological improvements are needed for Australian producers to remain globally competitive. This project addresses a key problem in alumina production - the behaviour of organic impurities - which will help to increase industrial productivity and reduce energy consumption. Insights gained from this research will also minimize the environmental and occupational health impacts of various process emissions, making the industry more sustainable.
