What is HPA?
- Purified alumina (Al2O3)
- 99.99% (4N) purity or greater
- Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) ~ 99.5% (5,000ppm impurities, mainly sodium)
- Bayer Process uses sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
- Sodium impurity is problem for electronics industry
Altech HPA Process
- Established HCl leach process
- Developed in 1980's by alumina industry
- Couldn't compete with Bayer SGA costs
- But great at producing HPA (no sodium-ions)
- However little demand for HPA in 1980s
- Demand for HPA is here today
