Abstract

Deposits of bauxite ores near aluminum smelters often possess an excessively high percentage of silica. Development of such high-silica ores would be beneficial to alumina producers. Therefore, unique industrial and operational experience in the field of high-silica bauxite processing was gained at the Russian National Aluminium-Magnesium Institute, St. Petersburg, pilot plant with the consecutive extraction of silica and alumina from low-grade ores. This article describes the chemistry, processing-unit operations, and results obtained from this process.
