Bauxite residue, or red mud (RM), is an alkaline sludge waste produced via the alumina extraction process in bauxite mines. Depending on the source of bauxite, this residue can be considered as a ...
Alternative sustainable process for bauxite treatment to alumina is the Pedersen process, which was patented in 1920s and was in operation in Norway for many years before closing down due to economic reasons. In this process, bauxite is smelted and reduced, which yields pig iron and a calcium aluminate slag. Alumina is further produced from the ...
ALAG (ALuminous AGgregate) is a synthetic calcium aluminate aggregate manufactured by the fusion of bauxite and limestone into a partially recrystallized aggregate of approximately 40% alumina. It is essentially Fondu clinker, crushed and sized into grades commonly needed by concrete and castable formulators.
Bauxite residue is a strongly alkaline solid waste which is generated by the alumina refining sector. This waste stream may represent a high risk to the surrounding environment during the storage process (Jiang et al. 2022; Wu et al. 2020).Consequently, there have been several investigations of methods relating to for the safe disposal of bauxite residue.
Sintered calcium aluminate is produced by sintering of high purity alumina and low silica limestone. Fused calcium aluminate is produced by melting of high grade bauxite and low silica limestone and then solidifying and crushing the molten material. In both the process of manufacturing selection of raw materials is an important aspect.
Data from alumina processing industry show an estimated global average production of bauxite residue (red mud) to be 1 to ton per ton of alumina, or about 150 million ton of red mud is produced annually. [ 1]
1. Introduction. The characteristics of Chinese bauxite are high alumina, high silica, low ferrite, and middle and lowgrade diasporic bauxite (Niu, 2003, Yang, 2006).Consequently a combination process (Gu, 2004, Ai and Cheng, 2002) is mainly used to produce alumina in China, in which the flow is complicated and the energy consumption is Bayer process is an economical process with ...
The optimized process conditions were the bauxite/anthracite/slaked lime weight ratio of 100::, reduction temperature of 1450°C and reduction time of ... smelting process was used to recover iron and calcium aluminate slag from highferrous bauxite. The reduction reaction mechanism is expressed by the following equations
A calcium aluminate (CA) slag of modelled composition, originating from the reductive smelting of Greek bauxite residue (BR) from the Aluminium of Greece facility, was hydrometallurgically treated ...
The solution is clarified by filtering off the solid impurities, commonly with a rotary sand trap and with the aid of a flocculant such as starch, to remove the fine particles. The undissolved waste after the aluminium compounds are extracted, bauxite tailings, contains iron oxides, silica, calcia, titania and some unreacted alumina.
Of all Bayer process impurities, few attract more attention than the simplest dicarboxylate. While some oxalate enters the Bayer process with bauxite as oxalic acid adsorbed on various minerals, the majority is created by the oxidation and pyrolysis of bauxite organics under Bayer digestion conditions. The rate of its formation in digestion is ...
Jiannan Pei et al. (2021) proposed a recovering alkali process of lowcalcium sintered bauxite residue, and the final slag obtained contains % Na 2 O. However, bauxite residue treatment by sintering has the defects of high energy consumption and expensive cost, so it has not been used on a large scale. Guozhi Lu et al. (2019) studied the ...
Bauxite is a mixture of minerals which contain, as well as impurities, different concentrations of hydrated aluminium oxides. Gibbsite (alumina trihydrate), boehmite, and diaspore (alumina monohydrates) are the main ore minerals. Bauxite is a highaluminiumcontent rock. That is the main ore that aluminium is mined from.
Bauxite residue, also known as red mud, is an abundant byproduct produced during the alumina production process from bauxite ore. As the demand for ecofriendly construction materials grows, researchers are exploring the potential of bauxite residue as a binding agent in cementitious composites. ... Thermally treated calcium carbide residue ...
The Ca content in most bauxite ores was below the detection limit except in India bauxite, which contained % Ca. Fig. C shows the XRD patterns of the four bauxite ores. The main crystalline Al phase in all bauxites was gibbsite, and an additional crystalline Fe phase (hematite) was detected in Ghana, India, and Guinea bauxites.
A hightemperature reduction and smelting process was used to recover iron and calcium aluminate slag from highferrous bauxite.
This paper creates hydraulic binders using waste and a low energy input. Cements are produced with a bauxite refining residue (red mudRM), blended with limestone and lime, and fused at temperatures from 600 to 1200 °C. The Saudi RM investigated has significant Al and Si but low Ca. Therefore, lime (CaO) and limestone (CaCO3) are used, as a source of calcium, to harvest cementing hydrates ...
Contexts in source publication. Context 1. ... production of calcium aluminate fluxes can be classified according to the sources of alumina: (1) from bauxite, (2) from the secondary dross of the ...
Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. The first step in producing aluminum is to crush the bauxite and purify it using the Bayer Process. In the Bayer Process, the bauxite is washed in a hot solution of sodium hydroxide, which leaches aluminum from the bauxite. The aluminum is precipitated out of solution in the form of aluminum hydroxide ...
In this process, bauxite is smelted and reduced, which yields pig iron and a calcium aluminate slag. Alumina is further produced from the slag through a hydrometallurgical process.
Calcium was introduced to bauxite residue to form leachable calcium aluminate phases with the existing alumina in bauxite residue. This involved the addition of either CaCO 3 or a mixture of CaO ...
Abstract The recovery of major components of bauxite residue by carbothermic reduction at °C and subsequent slag leaching in a Na3CO3(aq) solution is studied. Iron recovers primarily to pigiron and lime is added to tune the calcium aluminate slags towards the highly leachable mayenite phase. The concentration of aluminum in the leachate correlates well with the occurrence of ...
