The increasing demand for aluminum in conjunction with the limited available bauxite deposits Europe results dire need evaluation of alternative raw materials whole value chain alumina production. present paper focuses on possible use nepheline syenite, originated as a mine byproduct, production through leaching an azeotropic HCl solution. Previous work syenite dissolution focused more extracti...

Bauxite, in central Guizhou, is predominantly karst bauxite, but there insufficient research on the effect of paleogeomorphology bauxite development. Xiaoyuan also a and high- low-iron deposits exist study area. This conducts geological modeling using controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric (CSAMT) data drill core data. The effects deposition mineralization are evaluated by assessing ...

Drinking water contamination by fluoride is recognized as a major public health problem in many parts of the world. In fact, although fluoride is an essential trace element for animals and humans, excessive fluoride intake may cause adverse health effects. In this study we investigated the potential of a natural, high alumina content, bauxite for the removal of fluoride from contaminated water....

MgAlON composites have been prepared under nitrogen atmosphere, using Dengfeng calcined alumina w(Al2O3) = 85 % and other raw material, in order to reduce the production cost and make full use of the rich bauxite resources in Henan Province. The effects of the different sintering temperature and different matrix content on the preparation and properties of MgAlON composites were investigated. T...

Introduction The extraction of alumina from bauxite by the Bayer process produces a slurry by-product referred to as ‘bauxite residue’ or ‘red mud’. The liquid component of the slurry is highly alkaline and requires neutralisation to render it environmentally benign. A common practice is neutralisation using Mg rich seawater, which results in the formation of the layered double hydroxide (LDH) ...
