Synthesis strategies of alumina from aluminum saline slags

Aluminum saline slags is a waste of the metallurgical industry that presents serious environmental problems since it needs very extensive areas for its disposal, the toxicity it causes in the atmosphere and groundwater, in addition to high transportation costs. The valorization of this residue by th...
