To extract Aluminium from Bauxite, the ore needs to concentrate. Bauxite is purified to generate Aluminium Oxide or Alumina from which aluminium can be extracted.
State the relevant reason for the following: (a)
(a) Bauxite is heated under pressure with conc. caustic soda (NaOH) for 2 to 8 hours. Bauxite dissolves and forms sodium meta aluminate because of the amphoteric nature of aluminium, leaving behind insoluble impurities called red mud. Red mud consists of ferric oxide, sand, etc. which are removed by filtration.
