Abstract

The chapter delves into the intricacies of alumina storage and handling, emphasizing the widespread use of pneumatic conveying systems due to their compactness and flexibility. It discusses the energy consumption and maintenance requirements of these systems compared to mechanical conveyors. The text also explores the specific bulk characteristics of alumina, such as grain size and density, and the importance of preliminary investigations to ensure the selection of the most reliable and cost-effective handling system. The unique challenges and considerations for handling alumina, a hygroscopic and abrasive material, are thoroughly examined, making this chapter a vital resource for professionals in the field.
