The Bayer process, as it has become known, is used for refining bauxite to smelting grade alumina (aluminum oxide), the precursor to aluminium. Typically, depending upon the quality of the ore, between 1.9 and 3.6 tonnes of bauxite is required to produce 1 tonne of alumina. The Bayer process is a cyclic one and is often called Bayer cycle.
view moreThe Bayer process produces high purity alumina which is then used in the Hall–Heroult process as the main raw material. [9] In 1900, aluminium was valued at the equivalent of 100 current US dollars, but over the next 50 years decreased in price to approximately 20 current US dollars. [10]
view moreAlumina trihydrate is manufactured from either bauxite ore or recovered aluminum by either the Bayer or sinter processes (25). In the Bayer process, the bauxite ore is digested in a caustic solution, then filtered to remove siUcate, titanate, and iron impurities. The alumina trihydrate is recovered from the filtered solution by precipitation.
