The ultimate product of calcination is the most stable phase of alumina, corundum or -alumina. This is, however, not desirable for smelting, because -alumina is slow to dissolve in the bath (refer to Section 24). For the formation of Smelting Grade Alumina (SGA), calcination is carried out at around 950°C.

Reactivity of various oxides present in bauxite vary with process conditions, hence, one way of enriching bauxite with Al 2 O 3 is by sequential separation of Fe 2 O 3 and TiO 2 and then further second stage chlorination of enriched bauxite. Alpha alumina form is not preferred for carbochlorination as it is a stable form [].Hence, the process …

Abstract. Calcination is the last step in the production of alumina from Bauxite. In modern refineries this step is carried out in stationary calciners, such as Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB), Gas Suspension (GSC) or Fluid Flash (FF) Calciners. These technologies have been available for over 40 years, and are thus very far matured.
It was found that the calcination temperature of 500°C and the modification of H 2 SO 4 had the best fluorine removal performance. Under the same experimental conditions, the fluoride removal rate of the modified bauxite could reach 99.54%, which was much higher than that of unmodified bauxite (52.69%).
The Bayer process is the principal method for the production of alumina from bauxite worldwide. The modern version of the process (developed in the 1880's) still maintains the key steps of dissolution of alumina-rich minerals into hot caustic solution, separation of the insoluble phases, followed by gibbsite precipitation and calcination of …

During the Bayer process for alumina production, the molecular formula of the bauxite residue is approximately equivalent to Na 2 O·Al 2 O 3 ·1.7SiO 2 ·nH 2 O. This means that 1 kg of SiO 2 in bauxite will produce 1 kg of Al 2 O 3 and 0.608 kg of Na 2 O in bauxite residue. Thus, the extraction efficiency of alumina is low when processing low …
