The invention discloses a method for preparing industrial-grade aluminum
oxide by using
red mud, which comprises the following steps: S1, carrying out ore
grinding treatment on the
red mud to obtain
red mud powder with D90 less than 74 mu m; s2, the red mud
powder obtained in the step S1 is added into mixed acid, acid leaching treatment is carried out at the temperature of 30-50 DEG C, ultrasonic treatment is assisted in the acid leaching process, a leaching
mixed solution is obtained,
solid-liquid separation is carried out on the leaching
mixed solution, and leaching residues and a leaching solution containing iron ions and aluminum ions are obtained; the mixed acid is a
mixed solution of
hydrochloric acid,
oxalic acid and
phosphoric acid; s3, adjusting the pH value of the
leachate obtained in the step S2, carrying out auxiliary stirring reaction under a set temperature condition, aging, and filtering out
ferric hydroxide precipitate to obtain filtrate; s4, adjusting the pH value of the filtrate obtained in the step S3, carrying out auxiliary stirring reaction under a set temperature condition, and then aging and filtering to obtain an aluminum
hydroxide precipitate; and S5, calcining the aluminum
hydroxide precipitate obtained in the step S4, and cooling to obtain the industrial-grade aluminum
oxide. According to the method, the
aluminum element in the red mud is extracted through an
acid dissolution and
fractional precipitation technology, and production of industrial-grade aluminum
oxide is achieved; the method is simple in step and environment-friendly and efficient in technological process, and a new thought is provided for red mud recycling.
