A success story in terms of industrial implementation is utilisation of BR as a raw material in cement use of BR as a pozzolanic material has also been reported, with promising results in laboratory scale.
Step 4 Digestion process. In the digestion process, the slurry is heated to 270℃ to form a sodium aluminate supersaturated solution or "pregnant liquor". A hot caustic soda (NaOH) solution can dissolve the aluminiumbearing minerals in the bauxite. There are two types of bauxite: gibbsite, böhmite and diaspore.
Calcined bauxite is produced by sintering/calcining of low iron, low alkali containing raw bauxites at temperatures of 1600 1800 degree Celsius in rotary, round, or shaft kilns. In this calcination process, the high refractory mineral phases corundum and mullite are formed. This process of calcining (heating) bauxite in kilns removes ...

Stockpiled solid wastes will cause contamination of soil and may release toxic substances to nearby water sources [1]. Red mud is an alkaline leaching waste, obtained from bauxite during calcination or Bayer process for alumina production. Usually tons of red mud is generated from per ton of alumina produced. With the quick ...
During the Bayer process for alumina production, the molecular formula of the bauxite residue is approximately equivalent to Na 2 O·Al 2 O 3 · 2 ·nH 2 O. This means that 1 kg of SiO 2 in bauxite will produce 1 kg of Al 2 O 3 and kg of Na 2 O in bauxite residue. Thus, the extraction efficiency of alumina is low when processing lowgrade bauxite.
In order to explore the commercialized applications of the lowgrade bauxite in the refractory industry, a calcination integrated with acid leaching method was adopted to remove the potassium (K) and iron (Fe) from the diasporeillite (DI) type lowgrade bauxite. Following calcining the bauxite at different temperatures, the leaching parameters, including the sulfuric acid concentration ...

Introduction. Bauxite residue, or red mud, is a solid waste produced from the alumina refining of bauxite ore. Red mud is mostly collected from the Bayer process which uses sodium hydroxide to dissolve the aluminium silicate. Typically, about 1 to tonnes of red mud remains from the production of 1 t of alumina (Zhang et al., 2011).
