Low soda alumina powder was fabricated using silica (${\alpha}$-quartz) as an agent for removing soda components in the alumina. Quartz powder 2 mm in size was added to aluminum hydroxide obtained through the Bayer process, and then the mixture was heated at various temperatures. Finally, the heat-treated powders were sieved for classification. In this study, the effects of the quartz amount and heating temperature on the mechanism of removing soda were examined. A minimum soda content of 0.005 wt% was observed at the conditions of 15 wt% quartz (based on $Al(OH)_3$ amount) heat-treated at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 8 h. The soda components, such as $Na_2O$, NaOH, and $Na_2CO_3$, in alumina were ionized and activated at high temperature, and this facilitated the reaction with quartz silica and alumina producing nepheline. The advantages of using quartz include low iron content and low cost in comparison with the conventional de-soda process using chamotte, another silicate mineral.

For a quantitative analysis of chemical compositions of each sample after firing, Na2O, Fe2O3, SiO2 components were quantitatively analyzed using Standard Reference Material (699, NIST Co. USA) and XRF (XRF-1800, Shimadzu, Japan), while the scanning electron microscope (SS550, Shimadzu, Japan) was used for observation of particle shapes of low-soda alumina samples after firing. Also, the specific surface area analyzer (TRYSTRA II 3020, Micromeritics, USA) was used for measurement of specific surface areas of the samples.
To study the effects of particle sizes of silica used as a desoda agent, de-soda effects were experimented by using silica classified by size. Composition analysis results of the samples with silica powder after heat treatment in air at 1350°C for 1 h are given in Table 4.
