The invention provides an aluminum
oxide production method based on a
Bayer process, and relates to the technical field of aluminum
oxide production, and the aluminum
oxide production method comprises the following steps: desiliconizing
bauxite to obtain ore pulp; the ore pulp is dissolved out, and dissolved-out
slurry is obtained; carrying out
settling separation on the dissolved
slurry to obtain
red mud and fine liquid;
tobermorite is prepared from the
red mud; cooling the refined liquid, adding aluminum
hydroxide seed crystals, and separating out aluminum
hydroxide crystals from the refined liquid;
settling and separating to obtain
solid aluminum
hydroxide and liquid; the liquid is a
sodium aluminate solution and contains
sodium carbonate,
sodium oxalate and
sodium vanadate impurities;
roasting the
solid aluminum hydroxide to prepare aluminum oxide; removing redundant
moisture in the liquid to obtain an
evaporation mother solution; and removing impurities from the
evaporation mother liquor, and then recycling to a
dissolution process. According to the method, the
bauxite is desiliconized, the A / S can be increased, and the low-grade ore meets the
dissolution requirement; the
tobermorite is prepared from the
red mud, and the red mud is utilized.
