- Industrial Guidance : Dhiru Parekh

Alumina stands for aluminum oxide chemical compound of aluminum and oxygen = chemical formula AI2O3. Aluminum oxide has proven to be an excellent thermal and electrical insulator. This products crystalline form is called 'corundum'. These products are used to harden abrasives as well as components in cutting tools.

These products are extensively used for manufacturing of aluminum metal as well as for furnace refectory. Because these products have heat resist property. 'Corundum' is an aluminum oxide obtained from a natural mineral. Which is also used for quality. Metallic aluminum reacts rapidly with ferric oxygen in the atmosphere. The process of these products is called 'anodizing'.

The ancient Greeks and Romans used aluminum salts as dyeing mordants (used to set the dye onto the fabric). The main component of industrial process aluminum oxide is bauxite, the principal 'ore' of aluminium.

Among the world's major alumina manufacturers are Alcoa, Alken and Rusal. These people are popular in the specialty production of Aluminum Oxide and Aluminum Hydroxide. First, impure bauxite 'ore' and silica were produced and then treated with sodium hydroxide to achieve purity.

Production:- The annual world production of alumina is estimated at about 60 ST. 90 percent of it is used for manufacturing aluminum metal by electrolysis. Excessive use is made for aluminum hydroxide as well as water treatment chemicals such as aluminum sulfate, polyaluminum chloride, and sodium aluminate. Another product that is obtained from the calcination of aluminum hydroxide is aluminum oxide.

Applications:- Mostly used for zeolite, coating titania pigment and fire retardant.

The second type is used for refractory, ceramic, polishing and abrasive applications. A lesser variety is used in toothpaste formulations and commography. It has Basic (PS 9.5), and Water (PS 4.5). Aluminum oxide is also used in fluorescent light lamps.

Alumina is the most widely used oxide ceramic material such as spark plug, tape washer, pump seal, grinding media, abrasion resistant tiles, cutting tools, bioceramic (hip-joint), body armor, laboratories wear, part for the textiles, paper industries, Brick Refractories, Flake Graphite etc.

Key-Properties of Alumina:- High compressive strength, high hardness, resistant to abrasive, resistant to chemical attack by a wide range of chemicals even at elevated temperature, high thermal conductivity, high degree of refractoriness, high dielectric strength, high electrical resistivity even At elevated temperature, transparent to microwave radio frequencies.

Commercial Grade Alumina:- Aluminum Oxide exists in many forms like:- Smelter Grade Alumina, Calcined Alumina, Reactive Alumina, Tubular Alumina, Fued Alumina, High Purity Alumina etc.

License:- The license under the Industries Act and clearance from Pollution Control Board is required.

New delhi date. October 7, 2019, Monday A new study has found that employment and economic activity have declined by two to three percent due to the ban. A similar situation has been observed in bank lending. The study found the decline to occur within two months of the notation announced on November 7. This is the first research on demineralization in which data on the effects of districts across India were collected. In addition to the districts, the effect of national level was also studied. Previous studies only examined the national level effect of demonitization. Thus, a full estimate of the overall effect is not known. As a result of the shortage of cash arising out of the blockade, the country's economic activity fell by approximately 8 percent in November-December 2 In the October-December period, bank credit has seen an impact of around two per cent. Cash pulls have impacted demand for a short period. The study found that there was a strong link between money and pro...

- Industrial guidance - Dhiru Parekh Soymilk: Soybeans are converted to high-quality protein. So that high quality drinks can be made which can be easily digested. There is no difference between soymilk and cow's milk. So the conservative industries of milk processing are now using this milk to make yogurt and ice cream. Consumers also cannot tell the difference between ice cream made from cow's milk and from soy milk. Also, the production capacity of soy milk can be increased than that of cow's milk. And the price can be cheaper. Soybeans mainly contain two types of enzymes that are inactivated in the soymilk process. Leukoxidase that catalyzes the oxidation of fatty acids. And enzymes like pepsin, trypepsin are included in it. Which helps in digesting protein. Soyamilk powder manufacturing process: This is an electric pre-heater system. which basically allows fluid to flow easily in a stationless tube under low-voltages. which absorbs the energy flowing through the Ja...

The brokerage firm objected to SEBI's new proposal regarding Algo Trading

MUMBAI: Brokerage firms and fintech companies have objected to market regulator SEBI's discussion paper considering all stock trading orders issued through Application Programming Interface (API) as separate trading, saying it could adversely affect the growth of such trading from India. Algo trading is considered to be an automatic buying-selling system based on algorithms. SEBI has recently said in a discussion paper that it would create a framework for regulating Algo trading by retail investors. A senior official of a brokerage firm said that monitoring of Algo trading is a need of the hour, but such an attempt could hamper the growth of Sebi Algo trading. He added that if the suggestions made in the SEBI discussion paper were implemented, it would be difficult for brokers to make the API available. About 70% of the daily trading volume in Indian stock markets is transacted through advanced forms of algo trading. Algo Trading came to India in the year 2006, but then only se...
