The invention provides a method for producing aluminum
oxide by directly dissolving out high-
sulfur bauxite by regulating and controlling oxidation-
reduction potential, and relates to the technical field of aluminum
oxide production. According to the method, on the basis of the potentials of S < 2->, S < 2->, Fe < 2 + > and Fe < 3 + > in the
bauxite, an
oxidizing agent is used as a potential regulation and control means, a weak reduction environment is constructed, the existence forms of
sulfur and iron are regulated and controlled through the potentials in pre-desiliconization and high-temperature
dissolution, the reaction of
pyrite is inhibited,
dissolved iron and
sulfur are directionally converted into
magnetite and S2O3 < 2->,
sodium silicon slag is embedded into the S2O3 < 2-> in desiliconization, efficient desulfurization is achieved, and high-efficiency desulfurization is achieved.
Iron ore concentrate is recycled in
magnetic separation, so that
red mud is reduced, and high-sulfur
bauxite is efficiently and economically utilized. The method synchronously achieves the goals of
pyrite reaction inhibition, efficient desulfurization and reinforced
iron ore concentrate
recovery, is suitable for high-sulfur high-
iron ore, has the characteristics of small
oxidizing agent amount, short process, easiness in industrialization,
red mud process reduction, low cost and the like, is beneficial to economically and green
processing of high-sulfur bauxite, and promotes
sustainable development of the aluminum
oxide industry.
