4. Bauxite is converted to alumina (aluminium trioxide) through the Bayer process. In this process, concentrated caustic soda is used to extract alumina from bauxite at elevated temperatures and pressures. This produces a slurry which consists of a supersaturated aluminate solution and a solid phase commonly called red mud or

Aluminum production from bauxite is achieved with the Bayer process, which is a hydrometallurgical method. However, in the Bayer process, in time, it is possible to encounter problems such as the formation of excessive amounts of red mud in aluminum production, its environmental risks, its requirement of large storage sites, the excessive production of reactants by ores with low silica modulus ...

Only about fifteen percent of the alumina and bauxite papers ever published in Light Metals were chosen for this volume. Selection was based on a rigorous review process. Among the papers, readers will find landmark original research findings and expert reviews summarizing current thinking on key topics at the time of publication.

Figure 5: A03 Schematic Digestion In the digestion process, caustic soda (NaOH) is used to dissolve the alumina (Al 2 O 3) in the bauxite for later precipitation (recrystallisation) and then calcination. There are two types of bauxite, trihydrate (Gibbsite Al 2 O 2 O) and mono ...

A process flow diagram of the Bayer process is shown in Exhibit 3. The primary purpose of a Bayer plant is to process bauxite to provide pure alumina for the production of aluminum. All bauxite refineries share five common process steps: (1) ore preparation; (2) bauxite digestion; (3) clarification; (4) aluminum hydroxide precipi tation; and (5)

The Bayer Process was patented in 1888 in Germany by the Austrian chemist, Karl Joseph Bayer [].The simple chemistry of the process is that the hydrated forms of aluminum in bauxite, readily dissolve in heated caustic (NaOH) solutions (the DIGESTION step, see Chap. 4).The advantage is that nearly all of the minerals in bauxite containing other metallic ions do not dissolve and so can be ...

The Bayer process, discovered in 1887, is the primary process by which alumina is extracted from bauxite. Bauxite is the general name given to the hydrated oxides of aluminium. It contains varying amounts of combined water and several impurities of which ferric oxide and silica are usually predominant.

This process involves the separation of alumina from unwanted components such as iron, titanium, silica, calcium, vanadium, manganese, etc., in bauxite. In this process, bauxite is heated along with the caustic soda at high pressure (~30 atm), resulting in the formation of sodium aluminate (reactions (1)(4)) (Gil, 2005; Ma et al., 2009).
