In the Bayer process, bauxite is digested with sodium hydroxide solution at high temperature and pressure producing alumina and generating the waste known as 'red mud' or 'bauxite residue' in large quantity. After the process, the residue which is alkaline in nature has pH of and is disposed of in red mud ponds.

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 and tonnes of bauxite is required to produce 1 tonne of alumina. The Bayer process is a cyclic one and is often called Bayer cycle.

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) from the alumina.

A new step in the Bayer process has been used to recover NaOH and to reduce its content in red mud. After digestion, the residue is separated from the Bayer liquor and goes through press filters, which enables the recovery of NaOH and decreases the moisture content. It is well known that red mud is one of the most important sources of scandium. For this reason, the goal of this work was to ...

Caustic liquor (a strong caustic soda solution) is the medium moving around the circuit. When bauxite is added, the aluminium dissolves and a "green" (or pregnant) liquor richer in aluminium is formed.
