The Bayer Process is the dominant industrial method to produce alumina from bauxite ore. Due to the generation of large amounts of Bauxite Residue (red mud), an alternative method, called the Pedersen Process, is of our interest. This process makes use of a combination of pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical techniques in order to prevent the Bauxite Residue generation. In the conventional ...

Examples of calcination reactions. The conversion of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide is a common calcination process. Limestone calcination entails the breakdown of carbonate ores and the removal of carbon dioxide. Calcination of bauxite and gypsum requires the elimination of water vapour from crystallisation.

The Bayer process is the principal method for the production of alumina from bauxite worldwide. The modern version of the process (developed in the 1880's) still maintains the key steps of dissolution of aluminarich minerals into hot caustic solution, separation of the insoluble phases, followed by gibbsite precipitation and calcination of the gibbsite to alumina (Al 2 O 3).

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).
