Iran's Alumina Powder Production in 9 months

Iran has produced 176,239 tons of alumina powder during the first nine months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 21-December 21, 2022). As reported, the figure shows nearly one percent growth as compared to the output in the nine-month period of the previous year, which was 175,284 tons. 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. The particle size distribution largely determines the application range and the quality of an alumina powder. Reliably identifying the differences in particle size is therefore an essential requirement of the measuring instrument. - Tehran Times
