The Austrian chemist sought to develop a method for supplying alumina to the textile industry (for use as a mordant, a substance that combines with a dye and thereby sets the color in a material

Bayer Process

The Bayer process is the most commonly used refinement route, though certain countries use alternatives called the combined or parallel Bayer-Sinter process and the Nepheline-based process [20, 37].This section describes purely the Bayer Process. Due to the impurities in the bauxite ore, it requires treatment to produce purer alumina, Al 2 O 3 [18].This is achieved by …

Further, this process can lead to foaming in the Bayer liquor and precipitation in the equipment, while co-precipitation on the tank and pipeline walls can further lead to a sharp increase in the fouling rate, resulting in a loss of equipment availability, as shown in Fig. 4 (d)–(f) (Jones et al., 1998, Soucy et al., 2016). Sodium oxalate can ...

Chapter 2. Production and Processing of Aluminum

2.1.2 The alumina plant The starting material for electrolytic smelting of aluminum is pure, anhydrous alumi-num oxide (Al 2 O 3) called alumina. In the Western World, the Bayer 1 process, invented in the 19th century, is by far the most important process used in the production of alumi-num oxide from bauxite.

Mining and Refining – Process

The Bayer Process is the most economic means of obtaining alumina from bauxite. Other processes for obtaining alumina from metal ores are also in use in some refineries, particularly in China and Russia, although these make up a relatively small percentage of global production. The process stages are: 1. Milling

Bayer process production of alumina

A process is provided which allows control of the impurity level of Bayer process streams with simultaneous generation of an environmentally acceptable effluent and recovery of valuable dissolved aluminum and sodium values. The process involves carbonation of a blow-down stream at 40°-100° C to produce sodium dawsonite [NaAl(OH) 2 CO 2 ] and an effluent essentially free …
