ISE - process for the production of high-purity aluminum
Process for the production of high-purity aluminum alcoholates SUBSTANCE: The process includes the pretreatment of aluminum compacts, followed by their dissolution in lower alcohols and the purification of the aluminum alcoholates obtained. The pretreatment is carried out by heat treatment until stable emissions are formed in the metal matrix which are incoherent with the primary solid solution. The invention relates to the production of organoaluminum compounds [...]
