   The accumulation of soil and lime in the soil profiles as a result of their displacement towards the bottom is also an indication of aging.  For example, older soils that are formed on low calcium deposits tend to produce better than smaller soils on E and Bt horizons (as well as thin A horizons).

   Alumina, also called aluminum oxide, is a synthetic aluminum oxide, Al2O3, a white or almost colorless crystalline substance used as a starting material for smelting aluminum metal.  It also acts as an active agent in a wide range of advanced ceramic products, raw materials and chemical processing.

   Alumina is made from bauxite, a naturally occurring ore containing a variable amount of hydrates (containing water) aluminum oxide.  Free Al2O3 is a mineral found in nature in the form of corundum and its precious stones, sapphires and rubies.  They can be synthesized from alumina and are sometimes even known as alumina, but the term is more appropriately limited to materials used in aluminum metallurgy, industrial ceramics, and chemical processing.

   Aluminum processing: aluminum oxide

   Aluminum oxide is present in many different crystallographic forms, of which corundum is the most common.

   Some alumina are still produced by melting bauxite in electric furnaces, in a process designed for the abrasive industry in the early 20th century, but most are now extracted from bauxite by Bayer process, which began in 1888.  Developed for the aluminum industry.  Bayer process bauxite is crushed, mixed with sodium hydroxide solution, and aluminum hydroxide is sown with crystals to accelerate.  Hydroxide is heated in a kiln to extract water and produce a variety of granular or powdery alumina, including activated alumina, smelter grade alumina, and calcined alumina.

   Activated alumina is an unsafe, granular substance used as a substrate for catalysts and as an absorbent to extract water from gases and liquids.  Simulator grade alumina makes up 90% of all manufactured alumina.  It is transported to aluminum plants, where it is electrolyzed to aluminum metal.  Calcined alumina is manufactured in a variety of ceramic products, including spark plug insulators, integrated circuit packages, bone and dental implants, laboratory equipment, sandpaper grits and grinding wheels, and refractory linings for industrial furnaces.  These products showcase the properties for which alumina is known, including low electrical conductivity, chemical attack resistance, high strength, extreme hardness (Mohs hardness scale 9, highest rating 10), and high melting.  Location (approximately 2,050 ° C, or 3,700 ° F).

   The hardness of alumina can be improved by adding zirconia particles or silicon carbide whiskers, making it suitable for industrial cutting tools.  Also, generally opaque materials can be made translucent by adding a small amount of magnesia.  Translucent alumina is used as a gas container in high pressure sodium vapor street lamps.
