The invention which discloses a method for improving the caustic ratio of a Barer process seeded
precipitation mother solution relates to an improvement of a technology for producing
alumina through a Barer process. The method is characterized in that
lime is added to the Barer process seeded
precipitation mother solution and subjected to a reaction, filter separation is carried out, the resulting separated filtrate is evaporated through an
evaporation procedure, the evaporated filtrate is used to dissolve out a next batch of
bauxite as a cycle mother solution, and a
solid phase is separated through flushing with the cycle mother solution to a pre-desilicication adjustment tank to adjust the
solid content in a desilicication
slurry. The method of the invention, which allows
calcium aluminate to be generated through adding
lime to the Barer process seeded
precipitation mother solution and reacting with a
sodium aluminate solution, enables the concentration of
alumina in the seeded precipitation mother solution to be reduced, so the caustic ratio of the seeded precipitation mother solution is improved, and a Barer process
cycle efficiency improvement purpose is reached.
Calcium aluminate generated in the reaction is settled and filtered, returns to the Barer process production flow, and is added to the pre-desilicication adjustment tank to substitute parts of
lime. Energy consumed by evaporating the low-
alumina-concentration seeded precipitation mother solution can be reduced.
