Bauxite residue (BR) is generated as a by-product of the Bayer process. Approximately 1.2 tons of BR is generated per ton of alumina production but the quantity of bauxite residue depends upon on the quality of the processed bauxite ore and the processing parameter (Primary Aluminium Production).The annual generation of BR in …
Reactive silica is the most detrimental impurity in bauxite. When bauxite is contacted with Bayer liquor, reactive silica dissolves and then precipitates as a sodium aluminum silicate known as the desilication product (DSP), which is discarded along with the bauxite residue and maintained in long-term storage facilities. DSP recycling using …
Aluminum industries use bauxite as the major raw material . Bauxite containing less than 50% Al 2 O 3 is called low-grade bauxite ore, which is generally used for the production of aluminum appliances such as abrasives, ceramics, and refractories . The presence of impurities, including silica, iron oxides, and calcium contribute to the …
The more is the silica, higher is the soda consumption which increases the cost of alumina production. Physical beneficiation techniques are employed to reduce the reactive silica content of bauxite. Based on several investigations it has been made possible to remove ~30% of silica with 92% recovery depending on the characteristics of the ore.
