This study investigates applying the principles of the longdiscontinued Pedersen process as a possible route for producing metallurgical grade alumina from lowgrade and secondary feed materials. The investigation focused on the hydrometallurgical steps in the process, namely leaching, desilication, and precipitation, and adapting it to valorize bauxite residue. The test material used was a ...
A bauxite residue typically contains 1525% of alumina depending on the origin of its ore and process conditions. Along with alumina, it also contains iron, titanium and rare earth elements ...
The separation of the alumina from the impurities in the bauxite ore is usually accomplished by the Bayer Process. In this process the ground bauxite is leached with caustic soda (NaOH) to produce soluble sodium aluminate (NaAlO2), leaving the impurities in the insoluble residue.
Primary aluminum production is achieved by the combination of two metallurgical processes: (a) the Bayer process, which refines bauxite to metallurgicalgrade alumina (MGAl 2 O 3), and (b) the HallHéroult process, which produces aluminum metal by electrolytically reducing MGAl 2 O 3 in a cryolite bath. Increasing the sustainability of both these processes and of the entire primary ...
The high volume of these tailings and problems with storage and disposal of them have created a motive to process and produce alumina from them. Several methods have been proposed for the extraction of alumina or some of the metals present in these tailings. One of the effective methods is to use a combination of roasting and leaching processes.
As a hybrid process, bauxite residue undergoes a reductive smelting process with lime addition in an electric arc furnace in order to generate aluminaenriched slag. This slag is subsequently treated with highpressure caustic leaching at moderated (200300 g/l) and high (572762 g/l) sodium hydroxide concentrations.

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 ...
Introduction. Bauxite is the major ore for aluminum production. Alumina is extracted from bauxite by the Bayer process. The waste slurry generated in this process is called red mud and its solid fraction is called bauxite residue. About 12 metric tonnes of bauxite residue is generated for each tonne of alumina produced (Kumar et al., 2006).
After smelting to remove iron from bauxite residue, alumina can be recovered from the ironfree slag by an acid leaching process. The aluminum recovery rates from the slag by most common inorganic acids can be listed as H 3 PO 4 >H 2 SO 4 >HCl>HNO 3. Since sulphuric acid is a diprotic acid, it donates more protons to the solution than both ...
The important processes developed for the recovery of alumina from these sources are acid leaching and alkaline leaching processes. The acid leaching is known as the most efficient in which thermal and mechanical activation are included for improving the performance of the process.
The Bayer process holds an exclusive status for alumina extraction, but a massive amount of caustic "red mud" waste is generated. In this work, three oxalate reagents: potassium hydrogen oxalate (KHC 2 O 4), potassium tetraoxalate (KHC 2 O 4 ·H 2 C 2 O 4), and oxalic acid (H 2 C 2 O 4) were investigated for the Al and Fe extraction process from NIST SRM 600 AustralianDarling range ...
One of the potential sources of rareearth elements (REE) is the industrial waste known as red mud (bauxite residue), in which the majority of REE from the initial bauxite are concentrated via the Bayer process. Therefore, the studies of the subject, both in Russia and outside, focus almost exclusively on red mud processing. This article looks into the possibility of REE concentration into red ...

The alumina extraction percent was determined at different leaching times (30180 min) and solid/liquid ratios ( g/ml). The purity of kaolin is about 95%.
This method is based on the leaching of precrushed bauxite in alkaline solutions. After leaching, aluminum hydroxide separates from the aluminate solution and is then calcinated to produce alumina. Highquality bauxites with an Al 2 O 3 to SiO 2 mass ratio of more than 8 are required as a raw material for alumina production by the Bayer process .
Bayer process is a leaching process of bauxite. This process is use to produce high purity alumina (needed in subsequent electrolysis process) by leaching bauxite by NaOH. Leaching is done in autoclave at high presuure ( 2530 atm) and high temperature (220 o C), which produces a soluble aluminate (2NaAlO 2), and from which we precipitate out ...
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 ...
In the extraction of aluminium, the significance of leaching is to concentrate pure alumina (AL2O3) from bauxite ore. Bauxite usually contains silica, iron oxide, and titanium oxide as impurities. In the process of leaching, alumina is concentrated by digesting the powdered ore with a concentrated solution of NaOH at 473523K and 3536 bar.
The bulk of bauxite production is used as feed for the manufacture of alumina via a wet chemical caustic leach process known as the Bayer process . The majority of the alumina produced from this refining process is smelted using the HallHéroult process to produce aluminum metal by electrolytic reduction in a molten bath of natural or ...
During the digestion process of the Bayer method, lithium and gallium in bauxite will enter into the sodium aluminate solution (Tang et al. 2020; Xu et al. 2018 ), which will return to the digestion process for recycling after the precipitation of aluminum hydroxide from the decomposition of crystal species.
The Bayer process is used for refining bauxite to smelting grade alumina, the precursor to aluminum. Typically, depending upon the quality of the ore, between and tonnes of bauxite is required to produce 1 ton of alumina. The Bayer process involves the digestion of crushed bauxite in the concentrated sodium hydroxide (caustic) solution at
The doublecycle process is pressure leaching of hydrochloric acid—extraction and separation of leaching solution—direct pyrolysis of aluminum chloride solution for producing alumina. Firstly, highiron bauxite is used as raw material to extract aluminum and iron elements in it by hydrochloric acid leaching.
The process consists of the following steps: calcination of bauxite, leaching of calcined bauxite in hydrochloric acid, filtration of residue, crystallization of A1C1 3 .6 H 2 O, decomposition of AlCl 3 .6 H 2 O crystals to produce A1 2 O 3, regeneration of hydrochloric acid for recycle into the leaching step.
Bauxite residue, known as red mud, is a byproduct of alumina production using the Bayer process. Currently, its total global storage amounts to over billion tons, including about 600 million tons in Russia. The total global storage of red mud occupies large areas, leading to environmental damage and increasing environmental risks. Moreover, it contains a significant amount of sodium ...
Literature leaning towards Bayer process efficiency often targets leaching conditions in Bayer digestion and selectivity of aluminum precipitation species for activated alumina recovery, and from the byproduct valorisation, the sintering of bauxite residues for the recovery of aluminum and sodium [25,26,27,28]. The scope of this work will be ...

In some cases, the impure ore is treated with a suitable reagent, such as an acid or a base. Because of that, the ore particles dissolve due to leaching, but the gangue impurities do not react. This process is a solidliquid extraction process, and the following example illustrates the procedure of this process: Leaching of alumina from bauxite:
Recycling a ton of aluminum requires only about 5 percent of the energy and saves almost nine tons of bauxite from being hauled from mines. Even antiplastics campaigners agree that recycling ...
