Alumina Production (Bayer Process) The aluminium production starts with the production of alumina from bauxite according to the socalled Bayer process. In the Bayer process, caustic soda (NaOH) is used to extract alumina from bauxite in digesters. High temperatures and pressures are required for this process (Kuenen et al. 2016).

One of the potential sources of rareearth elements (REE) is the industrial waste known as red mud (bauxite residue), in which the majority of REE from the initial bauxite are concentrated via the Bayer process. Therefore, the studies of the subject, both in Russia and outside, focus almost exclusively on red mud processing. This article looks into the possibility of REE concentration into red ...

Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminium. The impurities present in bauxite are SiO2, iron oxides and titanium oxide (T iO2). Concentration is carried out by heating the powdered ore with a concentrated solution of NaOH at 473 523 K and 35 36 bar pressure. This process is called digestion. Al2O3 is extracted out as sodium aluminate.
