The generation of bauxite residue during the production of alumina from bauxite ore is considered as one of the major concerns of alumina refineries throughout the world. In Bayer process after digestion of the bauxite ore in hot caustic solution, the bauxite residue is separated, washed, and disposed dry or in a pond.

As shown in Fig. 1, first, the highiron bauxite was treated by acid leaching, and the solution containing aluminum chloride and ferric chloride was obtained.
1. Introduction. Red mud (RM) is a waste generated during bauxite processing for alumina production. The most common method for bauxite processing is the Bayer process, where raw material is digested under high pressure by NaOH to obtain a pregnant sodium aluminate solution [].During highpressure leaching, nonsoluble elements such as iron, titanium, and refractory or precipitated during ...
The Bayer red mud (BRM), a highly alkaline solid residue, is produced during the Bayer process for extraction of alumina from bauxite ores (Zhu et al., 2012). Approximately t of BRM is generated per ton of alumina from the process, depending on the original properties of bauxite and operating conditions (Li et al., 2016).
In the leaching of Alumina from bauxite, concentration of the ore is done by digesting the powdered ore with N aOH and then it is later reacted with CO2 gas. Consider the major impurities presents related to them. I. SiO2 is leached out along with Al2O3 as silicate and aluminate on reaction with N aOH. II.
Gibbsitic bauxite from Australia was leached by hydrochloric acid in this work. Analysis on kinetics for the extraction of Al 2 O 3 was quantitatively studied. It was concluded that the hydrochloric acid leaching process of gibbsitic bauxite was controlled by chemical reaction. Moreover, the mechanism for the dissolution followed the equation ...
the Bayer process [4]. This process is based on the alkaline leaching of aluminumbearing ores (mostly bauxite) with sodium hydroxide solution. At this high pH value and elevated temperature and pressure, aluminum hydroxides from bauxite dissolve selectively as following Eq. 1 (in this case gibbsite), while most of the other compounds remain
Both forms can have deleterious effects on Bayer process operations used to produce smelter grade alumina from bauxite ore. Jamaican bauxite which is comprised mainly of gibbsite (Al 2 O 3 ·3H 2 ...
Red mud, also referred to as bauxite residue, is the largest process waste produced during alumina production from bauxite ore by the Bayer method. Approximately 12 tons of red mud are produced ...
A closedloop valorization process, combining carbothermic smelting and acid baking water leaching was developed to recover scandium, aluminum, and iron from bauxite residue, a major side product of aluminum production. This process employs carbothermic smelting to recover 99% of the iron in the starting residue as crude metallic iron, which can be separated from slag that contains ...
Bauxite residue (red mud) is an alkaline waste derived from the industrial process for extraction of alumina from bauxite ore. Some bauxite residues contain considerable concentrations of critical metals, for example, rare earth elements. Lithium in red mud was also reported as a potential resource. In the current study, a Lirich red mud was leached using acetic acid to investigate the ...
This method is based on the leaching of precrushed bauxite in alkaline solutions. After leaching, aluminum hydroxide separates from the aluminate solution and is then calcinated to produce alumina. Highquality bauxites with an Al 2 O 3 to SiO 2 mass ratio of more than 8 are required as a raw material for alumina production by the Bayer process .
Experimental Method. In this study, the recovery of precious metals from bauxite ore was examined by a twostage leaching process. The stages of this process were Stage I: Removing iron to a large extent and revealing the solubility conditions of titanium by treating the bauxite ore with oxalic acid, Stage II: Determining the recovery conditions of aluminum from the residue obtained after the ...
In this study, extraction of aluminum, iron, and titaniumbearing constituents from diasporetype bauxite ores was investigated by stepwise treatment consisting of predesilication via alkalileaching of bauxite ore, extraction of alumina via Bayer process, and recovery of iron from red mud via magnetic separation. The predesilication results showed that the removal of silica reached % ...
A bauxite residue typically contains 1525% of alumina depending on the origin of its ore and process conditions. Along with alumina, it also contains iron, titanium and rare earth elements ...
Red mud is a slimy caustic residue generated from alumina refining of bauxite ores. During the alumina extraction process, about 35 %40 % of the bauxite ores go into the residue as highly alkaline red mud slurry (pH ) which contains 15 %40 % of solid phase in volume [1, 2].Depending on the quality of bauxite ores, producing 1 t alumina basically generates t red mud [].
Valeev et al. [111] found that precalcination of Severoonezhsk bauxite at 700 • C for h resulted in a significant increase in the leaching rate of alumina in solution through...
The doublecycle process is pressure leaching of hydrochloric acid—extraction and separation of leaching solution—direct pyrolysis of aluminum chloride solution for producing alumina. Firstly, highiron bauxite is used as raw material to extract aluminum and iron elements in it by hydrochloric acid leaching.
The Bayer process is the main process applied to obtain alumina from bauxite ore. The mineral is dissolved using sodium hydroxide in digesters, which obtain sodium aluminate in solution and a solid phase called red mud; the two are separated by the clarification process [1, 2].Brazil is the third country in bauxite reserves in the world, while Guinea and Australia are the first and the second ...
Bayer process includes digestion of crushed bauxite in an alkali solution of sodium hydroxide, followed by solidliquid separation to generate sodium aluminate liquor for alumina recovery and subsequently produces a residual slurry (bauxite residue/red mud).
Based on lime sintering method, a novel process of alumina production from lowgrade bauxite containing sulfur or fly ash is carried out in this paper. The phase of alumina transforms from 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 (C 12 A 7) to 4CaO·3Al 2 O 3 ·SO 3 (C 4 A 3 S), whose alumina leaching property is better, through decreasing sinter temperature and time ...
In the leaching of alumina from bauxite, the ore expected to leach out in the process by reacting with N aOH is A T iO2 B ZnO C SiO2 D F e2O3 Solution The correct option is C SiO2 Along with Al2O3, SiO2 too dissolves forming N aSiO3.
During the Bayer process, REEs Fe, Ti and other undissolved material along with remain unchanged. As a result rare earths end up in BR with an enrichment factor of approximately 2 comparing to the initialore [3]. Therefore, the aluminum industry throughthe Bayer process concentrates the critical metals found in bauxite into bauxite residue.
