Bayer Process | Extraction of Aluminium | Extractive Metallurgy
Bayer process is a leaching process of bauxite. This process is use to produce high purity alumina (needed in subsequent electrolysis process) by leaching bauxite by NaOH. Leaching is done in autoclave at high presuure ( 25-30 atm) and high temperature (220 o C), which produces a soluble aluminate (2NaAlO 2), and from which we precipitate out ...

the ratio of bauxite to spent liquor, which is added at the grinding stage, is driven solely by the alumina content in the bauxite and the desired liquor productivity. If higher than acceptable viscosity of the ground slurry occurs, then the capacity of the grinding circuit can be limited in order to affect adequate grinding of the bauxite.

BALL MILL GRINDING MEDIA
Grinding Cylpebs For Ball Mill. Grinding cylpebs is a type of grinding media with a short cylindrical or truncated conical shape. Just like the grinding ball, it can also be divided into the metallic type and non-metallic type.In large-sized industrial ball mills, we mostly adopt metallic grinding cylpbebs which include cast steel cylpebs and forged steel cylpebs.

Grinding Behavior and Potential Beneficiation Options of Bauxite …
The results showed that grinding of the ore exhibits non-first order behavior, while the breakage rate varies with grinding time. Additionally, Al2O3 tends to concentrate in the coarser than 0.300 mm product fraction, while fc 10% and 2 min of grinding time are considered optimum conditions for good distribution of Al2O3 and Fe2O3.

High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) is rarely considered as lateritic bauxites are too soft to warrant this technology. Only for hard diasporitic bauxite, where digestion feed sizes of P80 -75 µm are required would it ever be considered. ... Milling of the crushed bauxite product (Table 2) takes place in caustic spent liquor at temperatures
Bayer Process—Water and Energy Balance | SpringerLink
When discussing the use of water in an alumina refinery, it is critical to understand where the battery limits of the process are. This point is illustrated in Fig. 9.2 where the Bayer process is highlighted. The design and operation of a refinery is contingent on its access to local water sources and a good understanding of the local rainfall patterns.
