The Bayer process, the sintering process and the combined Bayer–sintering process are the most commonly used methods in the industry, with the Bayer process accounting for 95% of alumina production [9]. Bayer RM is typically highly alkaline, fine-grained, and rich in metal oxides such as aluminum, iron, and titanium.

The Bayer process liquor cycle is a loop, and the goal is to ensure that the energy stays within the loop, with heat exchange occurring between different parts of the cycle. The diagram shown in Fig. 9.45, provided by Donaldson, simplifying the Bayer process into a large heat exchanger, highlights this idea well. Wherever possible the heat is ...

Seydisehir, Turkey . ... ETI red mud is a residue from common Bayer method processing the boehmitic bauxite. Following semi quantitative elemental …

Red mud in Bayer process liquors are flocculated using dextran and synthetic anionic polymer in the same stage, usually added separately to the liquor. The liquor may be the primary settler slurry, the secondary clarification liquor or one or more of the red mud washing stages. The process is of particular advantage where the liquors are high in carbonate content and/or total …

The invention particularly relates to a dealkalization method of Bayer process red mud, and belongs to the technical field of alumina production. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining circulating mother liquor of the Bayer process; circulating the Bayer processMixing the ring mother solution with bauxite and lime to obtain raw ore pulp; pre-desilication reaction is …

The red mud separating method for alumina producing Bayer process includes depositing separation of the leaching and diluting liquid, washing of red mud and filtering separation of red mud; and features the centrifuging separation of partial leaching and diluting liquid while deposition separating the other part, and the merging the overflowed liquid from centrifuging …
