The Pedersen process is an alternative process for the production of alumina. Initially, bauxite ores, or other aluminous materials, are smelted with lime to produce pig iron and a slag of mainly calcium aluminate composition. The latter is subsequently leached in Na 2 CO 3 solutions to extract alumina hydrate.

The Bayer process is the principal method for the production of alumina from bauxite worldwide. The modern version of the process (developed in the 1880's) still maintains the key steps of dissolution of aluminarich minerals into hot caustic solution, separation of the insoluble phases, followed by gibbsite precipitation and calcination of the gibbsite to alumina (Al 2 O 3).

Compared to the rotarykiln and fluidizedbed calcination processes, the use of conveyorbed technology has obvious advantages in terms of energy saving and high efficiency. Due to the short calcination time of the conveyorbed process, the desulfurization of highsulfur bauxite is very sensitive to the effect of temperature and time parameters.

There are two key processes in an alumina refinery. Firstly, the Bayer process uses steam to extract alumina crystals from the bauxite. This consumes around 70 per cent of the energy used at the refinery. Secondly, a hightemperature calcination process removes chemically bound water from the alumina crystals.
