Commercialising alumina refining using solar heat
An Australian research team led by Professor Gus Nathan, Director of the Centre for Energy Technology, at the 成人大片 have demonstrated for the first time, a novel solar reactor for calcining alumina, a process which typically takes place at around 950C.

HiTeMP-2 Forum consolidated as a globally unique event addressing carbon emissions in heavy industry
Following the success of HiTeMP-1 Forum in 2018, and despite the very significant disruptions caused by the COVID19 pandemic, HiTeMP-2 consolidated this Forum鈥檚 position as a globally unique and leading event in engaging international specialists from industry, research, government and community organisations to chart the path for the heavy industrial sector to transition to the new, low-carbon economic future.
HiTeMP-2 Forum: Be part of the conversation to transition high temperature minerals processing to zero carbon emissions
Professor Gus Nathan, Director of the Centre for Energy Technology at the 成人大片 and Convenor of the 2020 HiTEMP-2 Forum on Zero Carbon High Temperature Minerals Processing discusses the upcoming Forum to be held at the International Wine Centre, Adelaide, March 16-18. He explains why heavy industries such as iron/steel, alumina/aluminium, cement, lime and copper are coming together to solve the issue of carbon emissions in high temperature minerals processing.
International forum to forge new pathways in zero carbon high temperature mineral processing
After the success of the inaugural High Temperature Minerals Processing Forum (HiTeMP) held in 2018, delegates from around the world will once again converge on Adelaide for HiTeMP-2, to be held March 16-18, 2020 at the National Wine Centre, Adelaide.
Team publishes in Green Chemistry
The Solar Bayer Alumina Project team confirms that solar could reduce the need for natural gas in the calcination process in alumina refineries, and have published an article in Green Chemistry.
Solar thermal energy for lowering emissions in alumina production
Our researchers have found that introducing concentrating solar thermal (CST) technologies to the Bayer alumina process could enable a 29-45% solar share. 听This would displace the need for natural gas and decrease operating fuel costs.
