Heat capacities of Bayer liquors to 300C

氧化铝精炼是澳大利亚最重要的产业之一，每年出口收入约60亿美元。然而，澳大利亚生产商需要大幅提高生产率才能保持全球竞争力。更精确的热力学计算，涵盖整个工厂的运行范围，被业界视为提高生产力，最大限度地减少能源消耗和减少温室气体排放的重要途径。为了实现这些目标，我们必须扩展目前的理论认识，并建立迄今为止在澳大利亚没有的实验能力，以测量高达300摄氏度的温度下溶液的热容量和密度。

Alumina refining is one of Australia's most important industries, earning ~$6 billion per year export income. However, major productivity gains are required for Australian producers to remain globally competitive. More accurate thermodynamic calculations, covering the full plant operating range, are seen by the industry as an important way to increase productivity, minimise energy consumption and cut greenhouse emissions. To achieve these aims, we must extend current theoretical understanding and establish an experimental capability, hitherto unavailable in Australia, for measuring heat capacities and densities of solutions to temperatures as high as 300 C.
