This process involves the separation of alumina from unwanted components such as iron, titanium, silica, calcium, vanadium, manganese, etc., in bauxite. In this process, bauxite is heated along with the caustic soda at high pressure (~30 atm), resulting in the formation of sodium aluminate (reactions (1)(4) ) ( Gil, 2005; Ma et al ., 2009 ).
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 ...

Abstract Bauxite residue (red mud—RM), a byproduct of the Bayer process for refining bauxite to alumina, is highly alkaline (pH ∼ 13) and its treatment and storage poses unique waste management challenges. In this work, the acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) of Jamaican RM from a storage facility in Sherwin, Texas, was measured, and the solid and aqueous phase contributions to the ANC were ...
The Pedersen process is an alternative process for the production of alumina. Initially, bauxite ores, or other aluminous materials, are smelted with lime to produce pig iron and a slag of mainly calcium aluminate composition. The latter is subsequently leached in Na 2 CO 3 solutions to extract alumina hydrate.
The solid addition of a calcium source, such as gypsum or bassanite avoids many of the complications mentioned thus far for 'inprocess' bauxite residue neutralisation, however it appears that the effectiveness of these compounds is compromised by encapsulation, requiring relatively higher dosages to be used.
The Bayer process is a chemical process for refining aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)3from bauxite; this aluminium hydroxide is subsequently calcined to produce alumina, Al2O3.
A process flow diagram of the Bayer process is shown in Exhibit 3. The primary purpose of a Bayer plant is to process bauxite to provide pure alumina for the production of aluminum. All bauxite refineries share five common process steps: (1) ore preparation; (2) bauxite digestion; (3) clarification; (4) aluminum hydroxide precipi tation; and (5)
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.
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 ...
The Pedersen process was commercialized and is a high temperature (molten state) process that can separate iron and calcium aluminate slag .

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.
