The production process of Bayer alumina is shown in Figure 2. In the Bayer process, bauxite is leached with a hot solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at temperature of 150–240°C and at 1–6 atm pressure . The aluminum minerals in the bauxite may be present as gibbsite (Al(OH) 3), boehmite (AlOOH) or diaspore (AlOOH) . The different …

The Bayer Process. The Bayer Process, which is used by about 80 active plants worldwide, is the primary method of producing aluminum from bauxite. Bauxite ore is dissolved in sodium hydroxide, or lye, at a high temperature and pressure. Then, the alumina and bauxite ores are separated by washing out the waste (red muds or sands) …
