Bauxite residue (BR), an alkaline industrial waste, is a major byproduct of the alumina production process known as the Bayer process. The Bayer process generates a byproduct known as bauxite residue (red mud). This residue was leached with sulfuric acid in a pilot plant of Mytilineos to recover scandium. Scandium was selectively recovered in pilotscale experiments using ion exchange.

WhatsApp: +86 18037808511The Bayer process is the main method of alumina production worldwide. The use of lowquality bauxites for alumina production results in the formation of a significant amount of technogenic waste—bauxite residue (BR). The Bayer reductive method is one possible way to eliminate BR stockpiling, but it requires highpressure leaching at temperatures higher than 220 °C.

The activation energy was determined to be kJ/mole, which was characteristic for a chemically controlled process. ... The effect of particle size on leaching of bauxite was studied using different size fractions (100+150 mesh, 150+200 mesh and 200+270 mesh
WhatsApp: +86 18037808511An example of the leaching process would be the leaching of Al 2 O 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.
WhatsApp: +86 18037808511Bauxite is widely used to produce alumina. There are many bauxite resources with high iron content. These resources could not be processed and utilized efficiently due to the high concentration of iron (Fe). The alkaline leaching process has been proposed to remove iron from these bauxite resources. Therefore, in this study, the alkaline leaching process was employed, and the effects of sodium ...
