QUALITY ANALYSIS OF BASIC RESOURCES FROM THE ASPECT OF FEASIBLITY OF ALUMINA CEMENT PRODUCTION
Main objective of this paper is feasibility of alumina cement production on the Republic of Srpska resources basis. As is known calcium-alumina cement is type of mineral hydraulic binder. As basic resources of CAC production are used bauxite and calcite. There are two main production processes: the fusion, Al2O3 less than 50% and the sintering process, Al2O3 higher than 50%. Republic of Srpska has two main bauxite deposits: Milici and Srebrenice mines and alumina factory in Zvornik. There are a couple calcite deposits with possible CAC technology requirements. Also the nearest CAC factory is in Istria, Republic of Croatia.
