Overview of SAMI Alumina Technology
As the cradle of China's aluminum industry, SAMI has been devoting to alumina technology research, development and engineering. SAMI has profound technology accumulation, providing China alumina industry almost all the alumina production technologies in use, creating the most first times in the history of China alumina industry, such as, the first mixed combination process, series combination process, intensified sintering process, Lime Bayer process, Dressing Bayer process, Low temperature Bayer process, innovative series combination process, some unit technologies as well, such as, dual stream digestion, sweetening process, etc. with the total design capacity over 21 million tons.
SAMI is experienced in designing different process according to different bauxites sources including diaspore, boehmite, gibbsite, fly ash, etc. Low temperature Bayer process is the most focused process of SAMI at present with great technical achievement.
