General description

Aluminum oxide (alumina) is a common raw material for ceramic materials. It is a good electrical insulator that shows stability at high temperature and resistance to chemicals.[1] Alumina is an important source for aluminum and has been prepared from high-alumina ladle furnace refining slag.[2] It is reported to enhance the reaction rate of aldose to ketose conversion by Lobry de Bruyn–Alberda van Ekenstein transformation.[3] It is a key constituent of NOx storage catalysts (NSC) which is employed to get rid of nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gas of lean burn engines.[4] A study of the surface passivation characteristics of aluminium oxide on crystalline silicon shows many advantages which can be applied in silicon solar cell production.[5]

Application

Aluminum oxide may be used as a dopant to produce optical fiber amplifiers and high-power fiber lasers.[6]
