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 …
The bauxite residue is safely stored, in ways which meet industry best practice and required safety standards.

Purpose Aluminium industry emits around 1–2% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. Up to one-third of those are linked to the thermal energy consumed during its initial process: the alumina refining (Bayer process). Previous studies consider the Bayer process a single stage despite its being made of several reaction …

Abstract In this paper, the industrial solid waste with potential cementitious activity was used to prepare ferrite-belite-rich Portland cement clinker. The changes in solid waste composition, raw meal ratio, calcination temperature, and holding time on the type and content of iron aluminate phase and silicate phase in the clinker were studied. The …
Bayer process is a leaching process of bauxite. This process is use to produce high purity alumina (needed in subsequent electrolysis process) by leaching bauxite by NaOH. Leaching is done in autoclave at high presuure ( 25-30 atm) and high temperature (220 o C), which produces a soluble aluminate (2NaAlO 2 ), and from which we precipitate out ...
