Definitions
- the current invention is referred to a new aluminium precipitation process from supersaturated aluminate solutions at temperatures lower than 100°C in which aluminium is precipitated with the form of monohydrate alumina (Al 2 O 3 .H 2 O).
- Bayer process is used almost exclusively for the extraction of alumina from bauxites.
- the essential steps of the Bayer process are:
- Precipitation of aluminum hydroxide (gibbsite, AJ O 3 .3H 2 O) from the pregnant liquor according to the following equation. Precipitation is effected by cooling the solution to 55 - 60°C, thus causing supersaturation, and by introducing small gibbsite particles as seeds.
- Al 2 O 3 .3H 2 O ( .) Al2 ⁇ 3(s , + 3H 2 O
- the new process which is analytically described in the current invention, is a highly innovative variation of the Bayer process whereby, at the precipitation step, alumina monohydrate (Al 2 O 3 H 2 O) rather than t ⁇ hydrate is precipitated at atmospheric conditions
- alumina monohydrate Al 2 O 3 H 2 O
- the mam feature of this method is the production of a material needed substantially lower amounts of energy during the calcination stage
- the technical characteristics of the new process are the following
- Alumina concentration in supersaturated aluminate solution is varied, typically but not exclusively, in the region 60-250g/l
- the initial seed ratio (SR), grams of added boehmite/grams of dissolved alumina, is varied, typically but not exclusively, in the region 0-5
- the precipitation of the monohydrate alumina can be carried out with or without glycerol or any other alcohol addition at concentration varied, typically but not exclusively in the region
- the aluminate solution is similar to the one that is used by the Bayer process
- concentrations of Al 2 O ⁇ , and Na 2 O are 132g/l and 120g/l respectively
- the precipitate was mineralogicaly characterized as pure monohydrate alumina (boehmite)
- the concentrations of Al 2 O and Na 2 O in the aluminate solution are 99g/l and 90g/l respectively Monohydrate alumina (boehmite) seeds are added in the solution with a ratio of 1,76 The resulting pulp is mantained by mechanical agitation at 300min " ' for 96 hours During the test, systematic sampling is carried out and the samples are analysed for Al O 3 The results of this test are given in Table 2
- the concentrations of Al 2 O 3 and Na 2 O in the aluminate solution are l lOg/l and lOOg/l respectively
- the precipitate was mineralogicaly characterized as pure monohydrate alumina (boehmite)
- Example 4 A detailed example concerning the application of the process at starting temperature near but always under 100°C is the following
- the concentrations of Al 2 O 3 and Na 2 O in the aluminate solution are 132g/l and 120g/l respectively
- Monohydrate alumina (boehmite) seeds are added in the solution with a ratio of 1,76
- the resulting pulp is mantained by mechanical agitation at 300min " ' for 96 hours at 95°C
- the temperature of the pulp is lowered by 10°C, every 24 hours, until the final value of 60°C
- the precipitate was mineralogicaly characterized as pure monohydrate alumina (boehmite)
- the concentrations of Al 2 O 3 and Na 2 O in the aluminate solution are 179g/l and 160g/l respectively
- the precipitate was mineralogicaly characterized as pure monohydrate alumina (boehmite)
- the concentrations of Al 2 O, and Na 2 O in the aluminate solution are 179g/l and I60g/l respectively Glycerol is also added at concentration of 0,9mole/kg of monohydrate alumina
- Monohydrate alumina (boehmite) seeds are added in the solution with a ratio of 2, 10
- the resulting pulp is mantained by mechanical agitation at 300min " ' for 48 hours at 90°C
- the precipitate was mineralogicaly characterized as pure monohydrate alumina (boehmite)
- the precipitate was mineralogicaly characterized as pure monohydrate alumina (boehmite)
- the above method comprises a highly innovative variation of the precipitation step in the current Bayer process It has a lot of advantages, the most important of them is the significant energy savings during the calcination stage for the following reasons
