To provide a coating liquid for film formation that can form a metaloxide film with excellent flatness even on uneven surfaces and reliable heat resistance by chemical vapor deposition. [Solution] A coating solution for forming metaloxide films by chemical vapor deposition, wherein the coating solution is a one-component coating solution containing a β-diketone complex, an inorganic metal salt, and a solvent, or a multi-component coating solution comprising coating solution A containing a β-diketone complex and a solvent, and coating solution B containing an inorganic metal salt and a solvent, wherein the β-diketone complex and the inorganic metal salt are composed of metal atoms of period 3 to 6 and group 2 to 14.
A process for producing high purity alumina (HPA) or high purity aluminium salts from an aluminium-bearing material, such as is disclosed. An aluminium-bearing solution is first obtained by either dissolving or leaching the aluminium-bearing material. Aluminium is then selectively extracted by liquid-liquid or liquid-solid extraction to obtain an aluminium-enriched liquid or aluminium-enriched solid phase. Minor metal impurities still remaining in the aluminium-enriched liquid or solid phase are removed by scrubbing the aluminium-enriched liquid or aluminium-loaded ion exchange resin with an aqueous solution thereby producing a metalimpurity-depleted aluminium-enriched liquid or metalimpurity-depleted aluminium enriched solid phase. Aluminium is then stripped from the scrubbed liquid or solid phases with an acidic aqueous solution to produce an aluminium-enriched aqueous solution. High purity aluminium salts may be crystallised from said solution. Alternatively, the pH of said solution may be raised to precipitate an aluminium precipitate, such as Al(OH)3, which is then calcined to produce HPA.
A process for preparing alumina from alunite, the process comprising the steps of: (i) grindingalunite material; (ii) washing and settling the alunite material to reduce sodium content; (iii) acid leaching and roasting the Na reduced alunite material; (iv) subjecting the product of the acid leaching and roasting step (iii) to a water leaching step to produce a liquid product comprising aluminum and potassium; (v) subjecting the liquid product of step (iv) to a precipitation step to precipitate an aluminum salt; (vi) purifying the aluminum salt; and (vii) subjecting the purified aluminum salt to a calcination step to produce alumina.
