In Bayer's process, the bauxite ore is first crushed and then it is leached by heating with hot concentrated caustic soda (NaOH) solution under high pressure for 2 to 8 hrs at 140 to 150 °C in a tank called a digester. Aluminium oxide, being amphoteric in nature, dissolves in an aqueous NaOH solution, forming watersoluble sodium aluminate.

To produce 1 kg of aluminium, it requires 2 kg of alumina, which consumes 6 kg of bauxite, leaving behind 4 kg of bauxite residue. Managing this voluminous byproduct sustainably has been a longstanding industry challenge. Vedanta Aluminium is actively engaged in minimising bauxite residue and exploring avenues to extract value from it.

Aluminum smelting plants are enormous and use a tremendous amount of space. (The picture below shows one such plant in Russia.) They consist of multiple banks of cells and casting facilities as well as anode production areas. But before the extraction process can begin, the bauxite ore must first be purified into pure alumina, A l O 2 3. The purification of alumina from bauxite is known as the ...

Australia produces about 3 billion worth of alumina a year from six Australian refineries. These refineries use the Bayer Process to extract aluminum hydroxide from the bauxite using hot caustic liquor. Aluminum oxide, Al 2 O 3, is a typical amphoteric oxide, which dissolves in a strong acid and a strong base.

We will study here some important processes used in the purification of bauxite. Bauxite ore purification: The following processes are utilised to purify bauxite ore. Baeyer's process: This method is mostly used on bauxite ore with ferric oxide as the major contaminant. Because the ore is usually red in colour, it is known as red bauxite.
