More Details· Bauxite residue is a caustic and high alkaline by-product of the Bayer process, where bauxite ore (aluminium containing mineral) is digested with high concentrations of NaOH (sodium hydroxide) under high pressure and heat to produce alumina, raw material for the production of aluminium [1,2,3].Bauxite residue production can fluctuate from 0.3 to 2.5 tonnes per tonne of …
More DetailsIn this process, bauxite residue is mixed with concd. sulfuric acid, baked in a furnace at 200-400 °C, and leached in water at ambient conditions. Compared with direct acid leaching processes, the developed process offers the advantages of less acid consumption, less wastewater generation, and fast kinetics.
More Detailsbauxite. In this process, Na2CO3 is added to react with Al2O3 in bauxite at high temperatures i.e. 1000˚C and water-soluble NaAlO2 is formed. The NaAlO2 compound in the sinter is leached by water and Al(OH)3 is further precipitated from the solution by CO2. The process residue contains iron and aluminum and there will be loss of these elements.
