Properties of highly basic sintered bauxite

Use of highly basic sintered bauxite instead of bauxite and limestone in blast furnace smelting of high-alumina slag - a source of expensive cement with special properties — will significantly reduce coke consumption. The paper shows the possibility of obtaining highly basic sintered bauxite with high basic characteristics (CaO/SiO2 ratio) of about 5—7, with high mechanical strength and resistance to spontaneous destruction in open storage.
