The Bayer process for aluminum extraction is a chemical process widely used in the industry to produce alumina from bauxite. Bauxite is a sedimentary rock containing high aluminum content. Bauxite is often covered by several meters of rock and clay, which must first be removed before the bauxite can be recovered.

Alumina Production (Bayer Process) The aluminium production starts with the production of alumina from bauxite according to the socalled Bayer process. In the Bayer process, caustic soda (NaOH) is used to extract alumina from bauxite in digesters. High temperatures and pressures are required for this process (Kuenen et al. 2016).

Introduction. Aluminum is too high in the electrochemical series (reactivity series) to extract it from its ore using carbon reduction. The temperatures needed are too high to be economic. Instead, it is extracted by electrolysis. The ore is first converted into pure aluminum oxide by the Bayer Process, and this is then electrolyzed in solution in molten cryolite another aluminum compound.

The Bayer process is the most commonly used in alumina production (Liu et al. 2007), and more than 90% of alumina is produced by the Bayer process worldwide (Wang et al. 2018). Bayer red mud is an insoluble alkaline solid waste residue produced during the dissolution process of bauxite by the Bayer process (Zeng et al. 2022; Lyu et al. 2021).

Bayer Process Overview. The Bayer process is a typically divided into two areas referred to as the red and white sides. In the red side, feed bauxite is crushed and mixed with a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) leachate, known as caustic soda or Bayer liquor. The slurry mixture is heated to 150250°C in autoclave or tube digestion where aluminium ...
