“…25 The alumina transformed in smelters today shifted from being finer ''floury'' a-Al 2 O 3 to coarser ''sandy'' g-Al 2 O 3 over the years. 26,27 This change mainly resulted from the adoption of point-feeders to inject alumina in the cryolite baths, which require better flowability to control the injection and thus the concentration of alumina in the reduction cells. SGA must also exhibit a low attrition index which quantifies its breakdown during handling.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
