The transformation of aluminum from a precious to commodity metal is the result of two major nineteenth-century process innovations: alumina production from bauxite via the Bayer [] process and its subsequent electrowinning to produce aluminum metal via the Hall–Héroult [2, 3] process.However, these advances have long since …

149 BAYER PROCESS Alumina is mainly produced from bauxite ore through the well-known Bayer process, a hydrometallurgical process invented by Carl Josef Bayer in 1888-1892. 1 In this process bauxite ore is the main raw material and it is digested together with lime addition by a solution of caustic soda (NaOH).

Leaching temperatures range from about 220°F for trihydrate bauxite up to 550°F when most of the bauxite is present in monohydrate form. Approximately 1.1 weight units of alumina and 1.2 units of soda are lost for each unit of reactive silica. Bauxite with more than 8 percent silica needs a previous leaching treatment.

8.2.2 Bauxite processing wastes (red mud) Bayer process is about the production of alumina through the refining of aluminum ore (bauxite). The red mud is insoluble slurry waste that contains different types of oxides. Tremendous amount of this slurry is disposed every year (Marwaha et al., 2018 ). Aluminum, silicon, iron, and calcium oxides are ...

This increased to 23.5% from 1960 up to 1969. In 1970, when 12.1 million tons of bauxite was mined, 36% or about 4.3 million tons of bauxite were converted to alumina. It was projected that by 1975, 20 million tons would be mined, and that ore processed locally would be equal to or more that that exported.
