Using AlCl3 instead of alumina in a molten salt reduction cell lowers energy demand, enables chlorine recycling, and avoids red mud.
Selective carbo-chlorination converts alumina in low-grade ores to high-purity AlCl3 while leaving silica as usable pozzolan and reducing energy use.
A fluidized bed selectively converts alumina at 600–700°C into high-purity AlCl3 while leaving silica for a valuable pozzolan stream.
Crystallizing aluminium chloride hexahydrate solids from acid liquor to produce high purity alumina.
Reaction of iron phosphate with alkali chlorides isolates iron chloride in exhaust gas streams for battery material reuse.
Carbochlorination converts red mud into aluminum chloride for electrolytic recovery.
Amorphous aluminium oxide reacts with acid under elevated temperature and pressure to form coagulant salts.
Fluidized bed carbo-chlorination converts alumina feedstock into high purity aluminum chloride vapor at 600 to 700 degrees Celsius.
Heating water to 120°F dissolves aluminum chlorohydrate monohydrate powder, preventing gel formation and lowering the freezing point for winter storage.
