3 Altmetric Metrics Abstract Bauxite is the ideal raw material for the manufacturing of alumina. Aside from the primary constituents of aluminum and silicon, bauxite is frequently coupled with many valuable elements such as gallium (Ga), titanium (Ti), scandium (Sc), and lithium (Li).
The hydrothermal hydrogen reduction process for treating highiron bauxite residue (red mud) was investigated, and the optimum conditions of alumina extraction as well as the enrichment of iron minerals were verified by experiments. Results show that the surface magnetization of Algoethite under the function of hydrogen reduction accelerates its conversion to hematite and/or magnetite. This ...
Furthermore, after photochemical reduction, >99% of the Fe in the solution was recovered as ferrous oxalate precipitate. In our previous work, leaching with oxalic acid and photochemical reduction process was optimized and thoroughly investigated to recover ferrous oxalate from bauxite residue [56]. The present work focuses on the regeneration ...
The production of aluminum from bauxite is a twostep process: refining bauxite to obtain alumina and smelting alumina to produce aluminum. Bauxite contains a number of impurities, including iron oxide, silica, and titania. If these impurities are not removed during refining, they will alloy with and contaminate the metal during the smelting ...
Direct reduction is an emerging utilization technology of ferric bauxite. However, it requires much more sodium carbonate than ordinary bauxite does. The volatilization is one of the most significant parts of sodium carbonate consumption, as reported in previous studies. Based on the new direct reduction method for utilization of ferric bauxite, this paper has systematically investigated ...
The major conclusions of this research are: (1) Bauxite ore can be directly reduced carbothermally by temperature programmed reduction or a stepwise reduction process. Appropriate control of the reaction temperature may maintain the residual oxide phases in solid state. (2) The reduction sequence of the metal.
process. Keywords: Bauxite, Reduction, Hydrogen, Plasma Processing, Leaching. 1. Introduction. Extraction of metals from their ores (mainly oxide ores) is primarily made through the process of carbothermic reduction [1, 2]. Such reduction process produces a great lot of CO. 2 (carbon dioxide) which is responsible for greenhouse effect.
Bauxite residue (BR) is an industrial byproduct generated during the production of alumina from bauxite ores in the Bayer process. BR is environmentally hostile due to it is high alkalinity and fine particle size this work, BR is blended with NaOH and subsequently reduced with hydrogen, in order to develop an intermediate material rich in magnetite and sodium aluminate, and by ...
Direct reduction is an emerging technology for ferric bauxite utilization. However, because of sodium volatilization, its sodium carbonate consumption is considerably higher than that in ordinary bauxite processing technology. TGDSC and XRD were applied to detecting phase transformation and mass loss in direct reduction to reveal the mechanism on sodium volatilization. The results show that ...
Red mud (RM), also known as bauxite residue, is an alkaline solid waste byproduct derived in the extraction process of alumina from bauxite ore. With increasing demands for alumina, the global reserves of RM have reached billion tons in 2018, and it is estimated that an annual increase was approximately 200 million tons [1].
Coalbased direct reduction is a commonly used technique in China. In this technique, coal serves as a reducing agent and reduction reactions are completed in a rotary or tunnel kiln. In this work, a hightemperature reduction and smelting process was used to recover iron and calcium aluminate slag from highferrous bauxite. The reduction reac
Lowgrade bauxite ores are not favorable in the conventional Bayer process for alumina production, as they are producing more bauxite residue (red mud) and accompanying lower alumina yield than highgrade ores. In the current study, the thermodynamics and characterization of calciumaluminate slags and pig iron produced from smelting reduction of high iron and silicacontaining bauxites are ...

Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. The first step in producing aluminum is to crush the bauxite and purify it using the Bayer Process. In the Bayer Process, the bauxite is washed in a hot solution of sodium hydroxide, which leaches aluminum from the bauxite. The aluminum is precipitated out of solution in the form of aluminum hydroxide ...
At present, alumina is mostly produced by an alkali process in the industry, which is generally divided into sintering process, Bayer process and sinteringBayer combined process (Liu and Wu, 2012).

In the conventional Pedersen Process, iron in the bauxite is separated in the form of pig iron through a carbothermic smeltingreduction step which has a CO 2 emission similar to that during conventional iron production.
The process stages are: 1. Milling. The bauxite is washed and crushed, reducing the particle size and increasing the available surface area for the digestion stage. Lime and "spent liquor" (caustic soda returned from the precipitation stage) are added at the mills to make a pumpable slurry. 2.
