Production of fine alumina from waste aluminum can

Increasing the utilization of aluminum in daily life raises waste aluminum. At present, technology to process the scrap is a conventional process which consumes high energy and caused the environmental problem. An alternative technology has been proposed to process the waste aluminum can into va...
