The invention discloses a method for treating
gibbsite by using high-concentration alkali liquor under normal pressure. The method comprises the following steps of: stirring and uniformly mixing a high-concentration NaOH solution and high-iron
gibbsite in an alkali-resistant reactor, heating to the temperature of between 110 and 140 DEG C under normal pressure, and performing primary separation on
digestion slurry by using a
magnetic separation grader; leaching the obtained
solid slag at the temperature of 65 DEG C by using a small amount of water, and performing further liquid-
solid separation to obtain high-iron
red mud; performing cooling
crystallization on a solution obtained after
magnetic separation, returning a mother solution to the
digestion process, adding a
sodium aluminate crystal into a seed
decomposition mother solution, redissolving to obtain a
sodium aluminate solution, adding
Bayer process red mud,
lime and the like into the
sodium aluminate solution, and performing desilication twice to obtain a
sodium aluminate fine solution with the aluminum-to-
silicon ratio of 145 to 180 and the
molar ratio alphaK of
sodium oxide to aluminum
oxide of 1.45 to 1.55; and decomposing the fine solution by a
Bayer process under the conventional conditions, and performing liquid-
solid separation to obtain aluminum
hydroxide particles and the seed
decomposition mother solution. The seed
decomposition mother solution is not evaporated and is returned to the process after aluminum salt and coarse
hydrogen and aluminum are dissolved in the seed decomposition mother solution, so that the defect of large water
evaporation amount caused by a large concentration difference is overcome.
