Углеродный след производства алюминия при получении глинозема способом Байера

Abstract

Aluminium and its alloys are widely used in various industries of metallurgy and mechanical engineering. Alumina is needed for its production. Alumina is produced mainly by two methods of sintering and Bayer. Due to the expected global warming of the Earth's climate and the required decrease in greenhouse gas emissions (carbon footprint of products), it is necessary to estimate the carbon footprint of alumina. In this article, this trace is defined for the Bayer technique. The carbon footprint of the product is hereinafter referred to as the through emission of alumina.
