Refractory bauxite application

Refractory bauxite, também conhecido como calcined bauxite, is an important industrial ore. Its main component is aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and it also contains certain impurities. Bauxite has a wide range of uses.

Refractory bauxite application

Aluminum Industry Bauxite is one of the main raw materials for the production of aluminum. Through high-temperature smelting, bauxite can be converted into metallic aluminum, which is an important raw material for the manufacture of various aluminum alloys and aluminum products and is widely used in defense, aviation, electrical appliances, chemicals, and daily necessities.

Materiais refratários: Refractory bauxite is widely used in the manufacture of materiais refratários due to its stable properties at high temperatures. These materials are used as linings in high-temperature industrial furnaces such as hearths and furnaces in the production of steel, vidro, cerâmica, and chemicals.

Precision casting: Bauxite clinker can be processed into fine powder, which can be used to make molds in precision casting technology, and then used in precision casting of military industry, aeroespacial, communication instruments, maquinaria, and medical equipment.

Aluminum silicate refractory fiber: Bauxite is also the basic raw material for the production of fibra refratária de silicato de alumínio. This refractory fiber has the characteristics of lightweight, resistência de alta temperatura, boa estabilidade térmica, baixa condutividade térmica, and resistance to mechanical vibration. It has important applications in many industries such as steel, non-ferrous metallurgy, eletrônicos, petróleo, indústria química, aeroespacial, atomic energy, and national defense. It can also be used to make a substitute for refractory bricks, such as high-temperature kiln linings.

Other applications: Bauxite is also used to make alumina cement, grinding materials, cerâmica, etc. Na indústria química, bauxite can be used to produce various aluminum compounds for the production of chemical products.
