It is the most commonly occurring of several aluminium oxides, and specifically identified as aluminium oxide. It is commonly called alumina and may also be called aloxide, aloxite, or alundum in various forms and applications. It occurs naturally in its crystalline form. It is an inert, odourless, white amorphous material often used in industrial ceramics. It is widely used in the medical field and modern warfare. It is also one of the primary ores from which aluminium metal is extracted. |
