Alumina (also known as aluminum oxide), has the chemical formula Al2O3. Its production is an intermediate step in terrestrial aluminum production, as well as for several processes proposed for lunar aluminum production. Alumina can be melted and recrystallized as corundum, This, when broken into conveniently sized grit, is an abrasive used in industry.
