Apart from recovering iron, Liu et al. (2012) employed a sodalime roasting process prior to leaching and magnetic separation of the fine red mud (<75 μm) aiming to develop an economicallyfeasible zero waste utilization process. The sodalime roasting facilitates the formation of sodium aluminosilicate which can then be recovered by leaching.
They found that the optimized process conditions were bauxite/anthracite/slaked lime weight ratio of 100::, reduction temperature at 1450°C and reduction time of 20 min. Under these conditions, highquality iron nuggets and calcium aluminate slag were obtained and shown in Figure 7. The largest size and the highest recovery rate of ...
To simulate the hydration process of bauxite tailings as supplementary cementitious material, the hydration kinetics of a calcination activated bauxite tailingslimegypsum ternary system was investigated. Hydration heat of the ternary system was measured at 50 °C by an isothermal calorimeter. Kinetics equations were used to simulate the hydration process of the ternary system.
process route, such as: • Acidbased processes (hydrochloric and sulfuric or sulfurous based routes) • Limebased sintering and complex aluminosilicate processing • Alunite roast reduction using a modified Bayer process Our offering for lowgrade bauxite and nonbauxitic ores covers the following:
A process that involves treatment of ore with lime and soda is used in China and Russia. The Bayer process involves four steps: digestion, clarification, precipitation, and calcination. In the first step, bauxite is ground, slurried with a solution of caustic soda ( sodium hydroxide ), and pumped into large pressure tanks called digesters ...
The alkali methods for alumina extraction from byproducts of HAC can be classified into lime sintering process, limesoda sintering process, hydrochemical process, and hematite involved roastingalkali leachingBayer process. ... Teng W, Wang XG, Qin JG, Xu P, Li PC (2010) Alkali desilicated coal fly ash as substitute of bauxite in limesoda ...
1. Milling The bauxite is washed and crushed, reducing the particle size and increasing the available surface area for the digestion stage. Lime and "spent liquor" (caustic soda returned from the precipitation stage) are added at the mills to make a pumpable slurry. 2. Desilication
Bauxite residue (BR) is generated as a byproduct of the Bayer process. Approximately tons of BR is generated per ton of alumina production but the quantity of bauxite residue depends upon on the quality of the processed bauxite ore and the processing parameter (Primary Aluminium Production).The annual generation of BR in 2019 alone was estimated as 175 million tons (Archambo and Kawatra ...
The effect of lime on gibbsite bauxite digestion is different from its effect on diaspore bauxite due to its different composition and digestion properties [15, 16]. In one report, gibbsite bauxite was digested by adding 1% lime at 145 °C, achieving a better digestion efficiency of %. However, excessive lime addition will lead to excess ...
Overall typical composition of a bauxite residue is given in Table 2 and based on the process conditions and region, the bauxite residue composition is tabulated as Table 3 and 4, respectively. Next to the major elements like Fe, Al, Si, Ca, and Na, there are also valuable minor elements such as Ga, V, Zr, and rare earth elements (Evans, 2016).
Different ways for alkaline recovery of aluminum from bauxite residue are considered from the literature and examined in experiments. The advantages and disadvantages of a hightemperature digestion via Bayer process and sodalime sintering process are elaborated and compared. As a hybrid process, bauxite residue undergoes a reductive smelting process with lime addition in an electric arc ...
The process is based on smelting reduction of basic (steelmaking slags), acidic industrial residues (fly ash, bottom ash, etc.) and additives like bauxite, lime, etc. based on requirement. The process uses electrically heated ladle furnace or smelting reduction . This process can be used to produce fluxes of the required composition by treating ...

1. Introduction The Bayer process accounts for over 90% of the world's commercial production of alumina. The process involves digestion of bauxite in a caustic soda solution at temperatures ranging from 100 to 250 °C, depending on the form of alumina in the bauxite, gibbsitic, boehmitic or diasporic.
Caption: In a demonstration of the basic chemical reactions used in the new process, electrolysis takes place in neutral water. Dyes show how acid (pink) and base (purple) are produced at the positive and negative electrodes. A variation of this process can be used to convert calcium carbonate (CaCO3) into calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), which can then be used to make Portland cement without ...
Although lime is extensively used when processing diasporic bauxites, the studies on boehmitic bauxites and the overall effects on the process are limited. In this paper, lime impact was investigated at all stages of the Bayer process including the effect on alumina quality, energy and raw material consumptions.
Based on lime sintering method, a novel process of alumina production from lowgrade bauxite containing sulfur or fly ash is carried out in this paper. The phase of alumina transforms from 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 (C 12 A 7) to 4CaO·3Al 2 O 3 ·SO 3 (C 4 A 3 S), whose alumina leaching property is better, through decreasing sinter temperature and time ...
Abstract The recovery of major components of bauxite residue by carbothermic reduction at °C and subsequent slag leaching in a Na3CO3(aq) solution is studied. Iron recovers primarily to pigiron and lime is added to tune the calcium aluminate slags towards the highly leachable mayenite phase. The concentration of aluminum in the leachate correlates well with the occurrence of ...
Lime is used extensively within the Bayer process, where it performs many useful functions. In particular, it can enhance the extraction of alumina (improving the dissolution of boehmite and diaspore or the conversion of aluminogoethite), control liquor impurities (desilication, causticisation or phosphorous control), assist with the removal of impurities from the pregnant liquor (liquor ...
The excessive production of bauxite residue (red mud) in the Bayer process is one of the major challenges amongst alumina producers. The Pedersen process is known as a combination of smelting reduction of bauxite and leaching treatment of the produced slag for alumina production, and the process also produces an inert bauxite residue (grey mud), which is more suitable for further processing ...
