Problems solved by technology

The improved Bayer process based on the treatment of medium and low-grade bauxite, such as the lime Bayer process, in addition to the requirements of high temperature and high pressure, also has the disadvantages of large red mud output and low resource utilization; High-pressure operating conditions, and due to the limitation of chemical reaction balance, the concentration of alumina in the stripping liquid phase is very low, resulting in large water evaporation and high cost. Although research has been started very early, it has not yet been industrialized. report

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing alumina from bauxite. The method adopts sodium hydroxide solution in high molecular ratio, can efficiently extract alumina from indissolvable-diasporite type bauxite at low temperature under the normal / low pressure, is mild in operation conditions, and has actual dissolution rate up to over 90 percent. After stripped slag-containing suspension is subjected to flash evaporation cooling to crystallize and precipitate sodium aluminate hydrate crystals, the sodium aluminate hydrate crystals are dissolved in water or dilute alkali solution and then subjected to desilication, seed precipitation and calcination so as to obtain alumina meeting the requirements of metallurgical grade. Slag is dealuminized through sodium aluminate hydrate crystallization mother liquor and then is subjected to sodium removal so as to effectively reduce the content of sodium oxide and alumina in red mud, enable the composition, alkali content and other main indexes of obtained red mud physical phase to meet the requirements of raw materials for producing cement, reduce the loss amount of alkali solution and raise the resource utilization rate of bauxite. Dealuminized stripping solution can be recycled for stripping bauxite, so that industrial operability is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing alumina from bauxite, in particular to a method for cleanly producing alumina from middle and low grade diaspore type bauxite with an aluminum-silicon ratio of 3-7. Background technique [0002] With the continuous expansion of the production scale of the alumina industry, the consumption of bauxite mineral resources in my country is increasing day by day, and the situation of insufficient supply of high-grade bauxite has formed. Dissolved diaspore type bauxite (also known as medium and low grade bauxite). [0003] At present, the industrial production of alumina is basically produced by the alkaline method, including Bayer method, sintering method and Bayer-sintering combined method. The sintering method is mainly used to process bauxite with a low aluminum-silicon ratio. The process is complicated, the energy consumption is high, and the product quality is not as good as the Bayer method. More than 90%...
