What is the difference between tabular alumina and fused alumina?

Fused AluminaFused alumina is made in electric arc furnaces by passing a current between vertical carbon electrodes. The heat generated melts the alumina. The furnace consists of a water cooled steel shell and 3-20 tonne batches of material are fused at any one time. The fused alumina has a high density, low porosity, low permeability and high refractoriness. As a result these characteristics, it is used in the manufacture of abrasives and refractories.Calcined AluminaIf aluminium hydroxide is heated to a temperature in excess of 1100ºC, then it passes through the transition phases of alumina referred to above.The final product, if a high enough temperature is used, is α-alumina. The manufacturing process is commercially undertaken in long rotary kilns. Mineralisers are frequently added to catalyse the reaction and bring down the temperature at which the α-alumina phase forms; fluoride salts are the most commonly used mineralisers.These calcined alumina products are used in a wide range of ceramic and refractory applications. The main impurity present is sodium oxide. Various grades are produced which differ in crystallite size, morphology and chemical impurities.The calcined grades are often sub-divided into ordinary soda, medium soda (soda level 0.15-0.25% wt%) and low soda alumina


What is difference between calcined alumina and alumina hydrate?

Calcined alumina is produced by heating alumina hydrate to high temperatures, which removes the chemically bonded water and results in a more pure form of alumina. Alumina hydrate, on the other hand, contains chemically bonded water molecules and is typically used as a flame retardant or filler material due to its lower processing temperature and cost effectiveness.


What is the common name for Aluminum Oxide?

It is alumina.


How do you break aluminum alumina bond?

I'm not quite sure what you mean because alumina is a compound (aluminum oxide or Al2O3) and aluminum is an element. Therefore, there isn't a bond per se from aluminum to alumina... just aluminum-aluminum bonds and aluminum-oxygen bonds. I do know that alumina will dissolve in a strong base solution, such as KOH or NaOH, and so if you have a layer of alumina on an aluminum sheet, a strong base solution will remove it. Also, a strong acid will dissolve the aluminum. (I do have to admit I'm not entirely sure what the effect of a strong base on aluminum and a strong acid on alumina is, though... and that might be a problem... hmm...)


What is the difference between alpha and gamma alumina?

Alpha alumina has cubic crystal structure, and gamma - rhombohedral (i.e. it is a "skewed cubic") Due to their geometry the typical surface area of a particle is affected, and alpha alumina has fewer -OH groups than gamma alumina. Iron oxide can also have either alpha or gamma structure, and is described on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_oxide

What does tabular mean?

"Tabular" means "like a table". In geologic terms, this would describe a landform that is broad and flat, with little variation in elevation. For instance, a mesa would be tabular.
