Bauxite Mining and Alumina Refining

A cross-sectional study of employees at a US bauxite mine, alumina refinery, and alumina-based chemical products plant studied lung function in relation to cumulative total dust exposures. 18 The subjects were employed at some time between 1975 and 1981. Because one third of the study cohort never smoked, the effects of dust exposure could …

Investigation of lime usage impacts on bauxite

Before the digestion, addition of 2.11% lime to the bauxite samples decreases the alumina recovery and increases the Na 2 O/SiO 2 ratio of red mud with increase in temperature. The highest alumina recovery and the lowest Na 2 O/SiO 2 ratio were achieved at 240 °C. It can be explained that lime partly reacts with silica in the …

The ultimate product of calcination is the most stable phase of alumina, corundum or -alumina. This is, however, not desirable for smelting, because -alumina is slow to dissolve in the bath (refer to Section 24). For the formation of Smelting Grade Alumina (SGA), calcination is carried out at around 950°C.
