What is the use of aluminum oxide?

Answer 1

Aluminium recycling is the process by which scrap aluminium can be reused in products after its initial production. The process involves simply re-melting the metal, which is far less expensive and energy intensive than creating new aluminium through the electrolysis of aluminium oxide(Al2O3), which must first be mined from bauxite ore and then refined using the Bayer process. Recycling scrap aluminium requires only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminium. For this reason, approximately 31% of all aluminium produced in the United States comes from recycled scrap.Used beverage containers are the largest component of processed aluminum scrap, with most UBC scrap manufactured back into aluminum cans

Aluminium oxide is also used in sandpaper as it is very abrasive. Aluminium oxide is also called alumina and corundum.

Answer 2

Aluminum oxide is commonly used as an abrasive material in sandpapers and grinding wheels for polishing and finishing surfaces. It is also used as a catalyst in chemical reactions, a filler in ceramics and composites, and as an insulating material in electronics. Additionally, aluminum oxide is used in the production of glass, metal coatings, and as a refractory material in high-temperature applications.
