Abstract:Aluminum oxide production from aluminum filings, which are a byproduct of several industrial machining processes and cannot be recycled to attain bulk aluminum (Al), is vital due to its wide use in scientific research and industry. The goal of this paper is to produce ultrafine and down-to-the-nanoscale alumina powder (Al2O3), starting from a waste Al filings. The microstructure and composition of the starting Al used were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which was equipped with an attach… Show more
