Ferric bauxite, a type of bauxite with high hematite content, has yet to be commercialized. Direct reduction [1−2] can realize ferric bauxite comprehensive utilization; however, the sodium carbonate consumption in direct reduction is considerably higher than that in the ordinary bauxite processing technology [3]. Previous research
Bauxite residue is a hazardous solid waste generated during the Bayer process of extracting alumina from bauxite ore, the high alkalinity of which limits its largescale industrial applications. In order to reduce the alkalinity of bauxite residue, rich lime additions from 0 to 30 wt.% and high digestion temperatures from 250 °C to 300 °C were performed on a highferrite diasporic bauxite ...
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. Desilication
A process that involves treatment of ore with lime and soda is used in China and Russia. 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 ...

Bauxite is generally extracted by open cast mining, being almost always found near the surface, with processes that vary slightly depending on the location. Before mining can commence the land needs to be cleared of timber and vegetation. Alongside this process may be the collection of seeds and/or saplings, for inclusion in a seedbank, which ...

Following soda and carbon additions, the addition of lime into the sintering process of 20 g CaO to 100 g bauxite residue (80% excess to stoichiometric requirements to form Ca 2 SiO 4) is necessary to investigate the consumption of free and bound silica in desilication products, relying on higher thermodynamic affinity with calcium.
Lime is used extensively within the Bayer process, where it performs many useful functions. In particular, it can enhance the extraction of alumina (improving the dissolution of boehmite and diaspore or the conversion of aluminogoethite), control liquor impurities (desilication, causticisation or phosphorous control), assist with the removal of impurities from the pregnant liquor (liquor ...

Bauxite residue is the industrial solid waste discharged from the production of alumina by bauxite, which contains a certain amount of ferric oxide in a reddishbrown color, so it is also called "red mud", and is a typical nonferrous metallurgical solid waste (Wang et al. 2018; Xue et al. 2022).The varieties of bauxite residue depend on the grade of the bauxite and alumina production process.
Sometimes [when?] lime is added at this stage to precipitate the silica as calcium silicate. The solution is clarified by filtering off the solid impurities, commonly with a rotary sand trap and with the aid of a flocculant such as starch, to remove the fine particles.
