High purity alumina (HPA) is a refined form of aluminum oxide or alumina containing at least 99.99% of alumina or Al2O3. HPA finds wide applications in LED lights, semiconductors, smartphone sapphire glass, and others owing to its purity, hardness, and corrosion resistance properties. The HCL leaching process involves leaching bauxite or aluminum ores with hydrochloric acid to extract alumina in the form of aluminum chloride, which is then purified through a series of steps to produce high purity alumina. The HCL leaching technology offers advantages such as lower capital and production costs as compared to other production methods.
The global HCL Leaching High Purity Alumina Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
