Abstract
AbstractProfessor E.T. (Ted) White's direct contribution to the understanding of gibbsite precipitation and to the modelling of this process has been enormous. In addition, he has had, and will continue to have, a profound indirect influence on developments in this area through former students, their students, and others following upon work that he has pioneered. The outcomes have been both academically and commercially important. The precipitation of gibbsite (aluminium trihydroxide) is a critical step in the production of alumina from bauxite, and Australia produces over 25% of the world's smelter grade alumina, earning about $3.5bn in revenue. This paper traces some of the recent developments in this area that have built upon the foundations laid by the seminal studies of Ted and his students.
