Production of Nanoaluminium Hydroxide from Iron Tailing and Characterization

Abstract:

Nanoaluminum hydroxide was extracted from iron tailing by the chemical deposition method and the structure, morphology and purity of product was attributed by XRF, FE-SEM, XRD, FT-IR, and DTA-TG, etc. The experimental results showed that the product was spherical in shape with granular size around 100-200nm in diameter. These results indicated that this technique is fit for commerial run to utilize iron tailing as a potential alumina resource in the future.
