Potassium Balance and Its Distribution in Commercial Aluminum Reduction Cells—When Potassium-containing Alumina Is Used as the Raw Material for Aluminum Electrolysis

China is short of high grade bauxite for the production of smelting grade alumina. With the massive exploitation of potassium containing bauxite in China, the produced Bayer alumina contains a non-negligible content of potassium oxide. When this kinde of alumina is used as the raw material for alumi...
