Bayer process is about the production of alumina through the refining of aluminum ore (bauxite). The red mud is insoluble slurry waste that contains different types of oxides. Tremendous amount of this slurry is disposed every year (Marwaha et al., 2018 ).

Abstract. Bayer digestion performance of gibbsiteboehmite bauxite is studied in this paper. The chemical and mineral compositions of a gibbsiteboehmite bauxite from Australia are analyzed and tested by XRF, XRD, and SEM. Test results show that the bauxite contains ≥ 50% of alumina (gibbsite and boehmite) and 9% of silica (kaolinite and quartz).

At the start of the process, the bauxite is finely ground and, with the addition of caustic soda, converted into a viscous suspension (chemists say: digested). The sus pension is pumped through the pipes of a reactor and heated up in stages to approx. 270 °C. The lye dissolves almost specifically as the temperature rises and under pressure.

silica minerals in the gibbsite bauxite during the digestion process at high temperatures was also studied. It was determined that the phase transition of aluminogoethite is enhanced at 250 °C. By further raising the temperature and extending the digestion time, aluminogoethite transforms into hematite, from which more alumina can be recovered.

The Bayer Process. The Bayer Process, which is used by about 80 active plants worldwide, is the primary method of producing aluminum from bauxite. Bauxite ore is dissolved in sodium hydroxide, or lye, at a high temperature and pressure. Then, the alumina and bauxite ores are separated by washing out the waste (red muds or sands) from the alumina.

The digestion behavior of Australian gibbsiteboehmite bauxite and pure quartz in the Bayer process at 230250 °C was systematically studied in this paper. The mineral composition and morphology of the reaction products were characterized and the kinetics of the quartz dissolution process was studied in detail.

Lime is an essential reagent required in various process steps of the Bayer process, in which bauxite ore is converted into alumina (Whittington et al. 1997), as illustrated in Fig. is used for improving conversion of goethite to hematite and dissolution of boehmite and diaspore during digestion; control of liquor impurities such as silica, oxalate, titanium and phosphorous; minimising ...

The Bayer process involves four steps: digestion, clarification, precipitation, and calcination. In the first step, bauxite is ground, slurried with a solution of caustic soda ( sodium hydroxide ), and pumped into large pressure tanks called digesters, where the ore is subjected to steam heat and pressure.

Almost the entire metallurgical grade alumina is produced from bauxite using the Bayer process. The leaching conditions in Bayer process depend on various Aloxyhydroxide minerals/phases present in the bauxite. Among the various bauxite types, gibbsitic (trihydrate) bauxite is easiest to digest. Monohydrate (boehmitic and diasporic) bauxites need more stringent digestion conditions in terms of ...

The aim of this work was to achieve an understanding of the distribution of selected bauxite trace elements (gallium (Ga), vanadium (V), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), rare earth elements (REEs), scandium (Sc)) in the Bayer process. The assessment was designed as a case study in an alumina plant in operation to provide an overview of the trace elements behaviour in an actual industrial setup.
