The invention discloses a
red mud treatment and aluminum
oxide production method. The
red mud treatment method includes the steps: uniformly mixing part of
mother liquor decompose by a Bayer method and
red mud, adding corresponding matching iron sources, caustic soda flakes and
lime, leaching mixture to form leaching materials, performing
solid-liquid separation to obtain
solid andradite and leaching separation liquid, washing and
drying the
solid andradite to obtain finished product andradite, mixing the leaching separation liquid and andradite washing liquid, and conveying mixture into a
mother liquor circulating and matching process in a Bayer method procedure to complete red mud treatment; mixing the leaching separation liquid and andradite washing liquid, and conveying mixture into the
mother liquor circulating and matching process in the Bayer method procedure to mix with retained mother liquor decompose by the Bayer method to serve as circulating mother liquor to enter a leaching and diluting process; mixing the circulating mother liquor and monohydrallite to generate aluminum
oxide. The method is simple and easy to implement and effectively avoids the problems of difficultcontrol of red mud treatment,
high energy consumption and the like in the prior art, construction investment and maintenance cost are greatly reduced, the
leaching rate of aluminum
oxide and
sodium oxide in red mud is high, and comprehensive utilization values of the monohydrallite are improved.
