R&D Services :: Analytical Research
The Analytical Division performs sponsored projects and in-house R&D at the intersection of routine analysis and analytical methods development for materials characterisation relevant to aluminium and other industry origin as well as R&D institutes.
- Chemical physical and geomorphological characterization of bauxite
- Wet and instrumental analysis of bauxite, hydrate, alumina, aluminium, alloys, and other raw material of metal production
- Analytical Method Development for samples from aluminium industry and R&D origin
- Analytical support to other divisions for projects and R&D
- Training in wet chemical and instrumental analysis
- Development of quantitative chromatographic method for bauxite, aluminium and aluminium alloys based on TLC-Densitometry
Ongoing R&D in the Area of Analytical Research
- Analysis of impurities (Fe, Si, Ca etc.) in alumina and aluminate liquor using hand held spectrometer , NALCO
- Development of portable analytical kit for field analysis of bauxite: Emphasis on in-situ micro-analysis of mineral entities for mineral prospecting (Ministry of Mines, Govt of India)
