Scope

This Guide sets out comparative methods for reporting the Al₂O₃ content of smelter-grade
alumina.

The Al₂O₃ content of smelter-grade alumina is reported on either a dry or ignited basis.

NOTE: Typical valves of a smelter-grade alumina if reported on a dry basis would be in the range of 98.5% – 98.9% and if reported on an ignited basis would be in the range of 99.4% – 99.7%.
