Iran’s alumina powder production tops 190k tons: IMIDRO
Iran produced 190,782 tons of alumina powder during the first 10 months of the current Iranian year (March 21, 2022-January 20, 2023), according to the data released by Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO).
The figure indicates a nearly one percent drop compared to the output in the 10-month period of the previous year, which was 193,534 tons, reported IRNA.
Aluminum oxide, which is commonly called alumina, is an inert, odorless, white amorphous material often used in industrial ceramics.
Alumina is an important ceramic material for industrial applications. The numerous fields of application range from construction materials to filling materials, as well as abrasives and catalysts.
In plants and mechanical engineering, alumina ceramics are mainly used for wear and corrosion protection.
