Altech Files for Patent Protection for Refined Method of Producing High-Purity Alumina From Kaolin

Australian innovator Altech Chemicals Ltd. announced yesterday the filing for a new provisional patent with the Australian government for an updated method for deriving alumina from kaolin and other such sources. Altech’s new patent involves treating the alumina-containing material to make particles smaller and richer in alumina content, calcining and leaching the material, separating the […]

Clemson Researchers Develop Improvements to Aluminium-Ion Battery Technology

Researchers at Clemson University say they have made progress in improving the performance of aluminium-ion batteries. Though aluminium-ion batteries are less toxic and more efficient than lithium-ion batteries, past attempts at making workable prototypes of an aluminium-ion battery have failed to produce a model that performs as well as a similar lithium-ion battery. Thus, consumers […]

PRC Scientists Develop Cheaper, Cleaner Battery Using Aluminium

A research team from the People’s Republic of China has developed a new type of battery that uses aluminium. Inventors claim that it is both economical and overcomes many of the problems associated with lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Scientists at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences introduced their […]
