Crushed bauxite is treated with moderately concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. The concentration, temperature and pressure used depend on the source of the bauxite and exactly what form of aluminum oxide it contains. Temperatures are typically from 140°C to 240°C; pressures can be up to about 35 atmospheres.

The production process of Bayer alumina is shown in Figure 2. In the Bayer process, bauxite is leached with a hot solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at temperature of 150240°C and at 16 atm pressure . The aluminum minerals in the bauxite may be present as gibbsite (Al(OH) 3), boehmite (AlOOH) or diaspore (AlOOH) . The different forms of ...

This paper proposes a novel approach to sulfur removal by adding aluminum in the bayer process of highsulfur bauxite. The effects of aluminum dosage on the concentrations of different valence sulfur in sodium aluminate solution were investigated at length to find that highvalence sulfur (S 2 O 3 2−, SO 3 2−, SO 4 2−) concentration in sodium aluminate solution decreases, but the ...

S 2 2− in high sulfur bauxite undergoes gradual transformation into S 2 O 3 2−, SO 3 2−, and SO 4 2− during the Bayer process, which leads to adverse effects in production . For example, it causes corrosion of steel equipment [ 3, 4 ], an increase in alkali consumption [ 5 ], a reduction in heat transfer efficiency [ 6 ], and affects ...

Alumina Extraction Problem. In the standard Bayer Process for refining bauxite to produce alumina, the dissolution of the alumina in the ore to form sodium aluminate is accomplished in autoclaves under high pressures varying from 70 to 200 pounds per square inch. However, some lateritic bauxite ores are readily soluble in caustic, making it ...
