Bayer 공정은 보오크사이트로부터 수산화알루미늄을 추출시키는 가장 일반적인 방법으로서 공정 조건에 따라 수산화알루미늄의 1차입자경, 입도분포도 및 생산효율 등이 달라지게 된다. 이러한 수산화알루미늄의 특성에 영향을 미치는 석출인자로는 가성소다 농도, 석출온도, 종자투입량 및 알루미나와 가성소다 농도비 등이 있다. 본 실험에서는 이러한 각각의 인자들이 수산화알루미늄 석출시 입자성장에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 그 결과 입자성장에 가장 큰 영향력을 미치는 인자는 석출온도와 종자 투입량이며 A/C비 및 가성소다 농도는 큰 영향을 주지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

Waste aluminum dross is a major waste in the aluminum scrap smelters, and some metallic aluminum remains in the waste dross. In the previous study, waste aluminum dross was leached with sodium hydroxide solution to extract the remained aluminum into the solution, and aluminum hydroxide precipitate was recovered from the leached solution. A pilot plant was constructed and tested to demonstrate the developed technology. One thousand tons of waste aluminum dross could be processed, and about five hundred tons of aluminum hydroxide could be produced in the pilot plant. From the test run of the pilot plant, it was confirmed that the developed technology could be employed as a commercial scale and the produced aluminum hydroxide could be used for water treatment agent.

Aluminum dross should be recycled in consideration of characteristics of the dross and its reutilization after processing. In this study, aluminum dross generated in the domestic secondary aluminum industry was processed to use it as raw material for producing aluminum hydroxide. Sample dross was classified according to its size. The dross smaller than $850\mu$m was leached with sodium hydroxide solution to extract the remaining aluminum from the dross into the solution, and then aluminum hydroxide precipitate was recovered (rom the leach liquor. Purity of the obtained aluminum hydroxide was above 98% and size of the sample was in range of $\3~39mu$m. Recovery of aluminum hydroxide precipitate was highest on condition that A/C ratio of the solution was 0.5 and pulp density was 14~16% at the leaching step. From the result, it was suggested that this process could be applicable to recycling of aluminum dross.

The water-sewage cohesion agent(polyaluminumchloride(PAC)) and NaOH were used to synthesize $Al(OH)_3$. For various additions of NaOH, characteristics of the synthesized $Al(OH)_3$ was analysed by XRD, SEM and PSA. According to XRD analysis, small amount of NaOH(NaOH:PAC=15g:100g) resulted in amorphous form of $Al(OH)_3$. By increasing NaOH(NaOH:PAC=20g:100g), the mixture of gibbsite(37%), bayerite(35%) and boehmite(28%) were produced. By adding more NaOH(NaOH:PAC=25g:100g), binary mixtures of gibbsite(67%) and bayerite(33%) were formed. Finally, high addition of NaOH(NaOH:PAC=30g:100g) gave the high concentration of gibbsite(gibbsite:bayerite=83:17). Also, SEM analysis indicated that the product featured the plate form with 20 and 30g of NaOH addition. Furthermore it was found that the particle size of the product decreased with the addition of NaOH.

The synthesis of aluminum oxalate, one of the aluminum organic compounds, has been performed using aluminum hydroxide as a raw material. For this aim, domestic aluminum hydroxide of 99.7% purity was dissolved by oxalic acid to produce an aqueous aluminum solution. As a result, it was found that aluminum hydroxide could be dissolved almost completely by the reaction with 1.0 mole/l oxalic acid solution at $90^{\circ}C$ for 16 hr. It was strongly required to keep the ratio of ethanol/Al solution more than 2.0 for the synthesis of aluminum oxalate from the aluminum solution. Furthermore, the pH should be controlled to be more than 8.2 in order to obtain the recovery of aluminum oxalate higher than 90%. From the chemical analysis of aluminum oxalate prepared in this work, the content of $NH_4$, Al and C was found to be 14.5, 7.18 and 17.4%, respectively. Accordingly, the aluminum oxalate synthesized from the aluminum solution was confirmed to be $(NH_4)_3Al(C_2O_4)_3$ $3H_2O$.

Anti-oxidation and flame resistant polyurethane nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning and aluminum hydroxide addition. Electrospinning was carried out under the following procedure conditions; applied voltage, 20 kV; polymer solution feeding rate, 1.2 ml/h; collector rolling speed, 120 rpm; and tip to collector distance, 15 cm. Aluminum hydroxide was added to the prepared polymer solution for electrospinning to enhance the oxidation and flame resistant properties. The thermal properties were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis to determine the polymer decomposition temperature, integral procedure decomposition temperature, final decomposition temperature, and remaining amount after thermal decomposition. The activated energy for polymer degradation was also investigated using the Horowitz-Metzger equation. The activation energy increased to more than 50%. The thermal properties of the polyurethane nanofibers were improved by a hydration reaction during the thermal decomposition of aluminum hydroxide around $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$.

The dissolution of domestic aluminum hydroxide of 99.7% purity has been performed with mineral and organic acid prior to the synthesis of aluminum compounds from aluminum solution. Mean particle size of aluminum hydroxide used in the work was $14.4{\mu}m$, $22.9{\mu}m$ and $62.3{\mu}m$, respectively and the effect of reaction temperature, concentration of acid and reaction time on the dissolution of aluminum hydroxide has been examined. As a result, the dissolution of aluminum hydroxide was increased with the concentration of HCl and more than 70% dissolution was obtained with 5 mole/l HCl at $70^{\circ}C$ for reaction time of 4 hr. As far as the dissolution of aluminum hydroxide with sulfuric acid was concerned, it was found that the optimum concentration of sulfuric acid was about 6 mole/l for the effective dissolution of aluminum hydroxide. When oxalic acid was used for the dissolution of aluminum hydroxide, nearly complete dissolution could be obtained by the dissolution for 16 hr with 1.0 mole/l oxalic acid at $90^{\circ}C$.
