1. Introduction. Silica is a major impurity in bauxite ores, which is commonly present as quartz (SiO 2) and phyllosilicate minerals such as kaolinite (Al 4 [Si 4 O 10](OH) 8), illite (K x Al 4 Si 8−x Al x O 20 (OH) 2) and pyrophyllite (Al 2 [Si 4 O 10](OH) 2). 1,2 When producing alumina from bauxite using the Bayer process, the reactive silica is …
Since the Bayer process was patented in 1888 by Australian chemist Karl Bayer, this technology has been the major industrial process for the producing of alumina from bauxite ores [1, 2].Even after 135 years, this process remains unchanged for four major key sections: digestion of alumina-rich minerals (gibbsite, boehmite, and …
The Bayer Process involved the pressure leaching of bauxite with NaOH solution to obtain sodium aluminate solution from which aluminum hydroxide was precipitated by seeding.

Revision notes on Extraction of Aluminium from Bauxite for the CIE IGCSE Chemistry syllabus, written by the Chemistry experts at Save My Exams.
Bauxite residue is a solid waste left over after extracting alumina from bauxite. When high-silica bauxite is used as a feedstock for alumina production, more bauxite residue is discharged compared to processing high-grade bauxite. 30 At present, most bauxite residues are sent to dams for storage, taking up large amounts of land …
The use of pressure leaching to extract alumina from caustic liquors dates back to 1888, where German Patent No. 43977, entitled A Process for the Production of Aluminum …
The efficiency of Fe extraction from the bauxite by HCl leaching was 82.5% at 100 °C, HCl concentration of 10%, solid/liquid ratio of 1:10, and the process duration of 60 min, with aluminum loss ...
Upon the conditions of adding seed and constant agitation, the sodium aluminate solution formed in the process of leaching bauxite with NaOH can precipitate the aluminum hydroxide. (2) After decomposing, spent liquid can be used to leach a new batch of bauxite at high temperatures by evaporating crystallization.
A distributed SVM-based soft sensor was also proposed for measurement of the leaching rate of alumina, and this approach includes the influences of the chemical compositions of the bauxite slurry ...
Herein, we proposed a low-temperature ammonium sulfate roasting-water leaching process to extract aluminum from silicon-rich diasporic bauxite.
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 bauxite residue and circulating spent liquor in alumina production typically include …

This Chapter provides an introduction to the Bayer process and how the mineral composition of bauxites affects the process variants and the principal parameters to be selected.
Bayer process is a leaching process of bauxite. This process is use to produce high purity alumina (needed in subsequent electrolysis process) by leaching bauxite by NaOH.
A calcium aluminate (CA) slag of modelled composition, originating from the reductive smelting of Greek bauxite residue (BR) from the Aluminium of Greece facility, was hydrometallurgically treated with a Na2CO3 solution, with a 5% S/L ratio, for Al extraction. 60-minute leaching tests were performed at atmospheric pressure and a temperature …
An example of the leaching process would be the leaching of Al 2 O 3.2H 2 O (or bauxite) with a heated and concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide. In this example, the concentrated NaOH dissolves the aluminium present in the bauxite whereas the impurities such as Fe 2 O 3, TiO 2, and SiO 2, are not dissolved by the reagent.
The raw material for the Bayer process is most commonly mined bauxite, a rock containing aluminium, which – as we already know – also contains many other substances …

Zhao et al. (2013) studied hydrochloric acid to leach alumina from gibbsitic bauxite in a pressure reactor. The percentage of aluminum and iron extracted after 120 min was 95% using 2.7 M hydrochloric acid, solid/liquid ratios 100:7 and a leaching temperature range of 100–110 °C. However, the authors did not consider the separation …
