The difficulty of separating aluminium from oxygen in the oxide ores was overcome by the use of cryolite as a flux to dissolve the oxide mineral(s). Pure cryolite itself melts at 1012 °C (1285 K), and it can dissolve the aluminium oxides sufficiently well to allow easy extraction of the aluminium by electrolysis. Substantial energy is still ...
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin-film deposition technique based on the sequential use of a gas-phase chemical process; it is a subclass of chemical vapour deposition. The majority of ALD reactions use two chemicals called precursors (also called "reactants").
Tin(iv) oxide, or stannic oxide, is an off-white/ white crystalline solid powder compound. The primary uses for stannic oxide (SnO 2 ) include polishing glass, marble, silver, and jewelry in addition to creating dyes for fabrics, [ 12 ] paper, ceramic glazes, printing inks, coatings, and pigments in food polymers.

Metal fume fever, also known as brass founders' ague, brass shakes, [1] zinc shakes, galvie flu, galvo poisoning, metal dust fever, welding shivers, or Monday morning fever, [2] is an illness primarily caused by exposure to chemicals such as zinc oxide (ZnO), aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3), or magnesium oxide (MgO) which are produced as byproducts in the fumes that result when certain metals are ...

Aluminium oxide hydroxides (boehmite, gibbsite, diaspore, corundum); Aluminosilicates (analcite, cancrinite, noselite); Copper (metallic copper, cuprite, tenorite); Phosphates (hydroxyapatite); Magnetite or nickel ferrite (NiFe 2 O 4) from extremely pure, low-iron water. [9] The deposition rate by precipitation is often described by the ...
Boron oxide (B 2 O 3) is slightly acidic, aluminium and gallium oxide (Al 2 O 3 and Ga 2 O 3 respectively) are amphoteric, indium(III) oxide (In 2 O 3) is nearly amphoteric, and thallium(III) oxide (Tl 2 O 3) is a Lewis base because it dissolves in acids to form salts. Each of these compounds are stable, but thallium oxide decomposes at ...
Activated alumina is manufactured from aluminium hydroxide by dehydroxylating it in a way that produces a highly porous material; this material can have a surface area significantly over 200 m 2 /g. The compound is used as a desiccant (to keep things dry by adsorbing water from the air) and as a filter of fluoride , arsenic and selenium in ...
