In this process, the bauxite ore is first crushed and then it is leached by heating with hot concentrated caustic soda (NaOH) solution under high pressure for 2 to 8 hrs at 140 to 150 °C in a tank called a digester. Aluminium oxide, being amphoteric in nature, dissolves in an aqueous NaOH solution, forming watersoluble sodium aluminate.
