Alumina recovery from bauxite residue: A concise review
Aluminum demand has increased with modernization of our society. As the primary source of aluminum is bauxite ore, this has resulted in more accumulation of bauxite residue. A bauxite residue typically contains 15–25% of alumina depending on the origin of its ore and process conditions. Along with alumina, it also contains iron, …

Extraction Process of Aluminium from Bauxite Ore
The separation of the alumina from the impurities in the bauxite ore is usually accomplished by the Bayer Process. In this process the ground bauxite is leached with caustic soda (NaOH) to produce soluble sodium aluminate (NaAlO2), leaving the impurities in the insoluble residue. The aluminate solution is then decomposed producing …

9.3.3 Extraction of Aluminium from Bauxite
Bauxite is first purified to produce aluminium oxide, Al 2 O 3. Aluminium oxide is then dissolved in molten cryolite. This is because aluminium oxide has a melting point of over 2000°C which would use a lot of energy and be very expensive. The resulting mixture has a lower melting point without interfering with the reaction.

Zero Waste Alumina Production | SpringerLink
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.
