5.2.3 Red Mud Flocculants. The red mud particles in the slurry coming out of digestion are generally very fine; mostly less than 10 microns, and the settling rate of very fine particles is very, very slow. The settling rate of a particle is governed by Stokes Law, where the velocity is a function of the square of the particle diameter.

The process stages are: 1. Milling. The bauxite is washed and crushed, reducing the particle size and increasing the available surface area for the digestion stage. Lime and "spent liquor" (caustic soda returned from the precipitation stage) are added at the mills to make a pumpable slurry. 2.
8.2.2 Bauxite processing wastes (red mud) Bayer process is about the production of alumina through the refining of aluminum ore (bauxite).

The specific surface area values of the (BB I to BB7) bauxites range from 10.46 mz/g to 19.31 M2/g. The BM1 to BM7 red muds have specific surface area values of 33.0 mz/g to 50.41 In 2/g. The specific surface area values of the red muds are typically about threefold larger than their bauxite predecessor samples.

4.1.3 Clarification In the clarification stage of the process, undissolved ore solids are separated from the green liquor. This is achieved using large clarification vessels (mud thickeners), which allow the undissolved bauxite solids to settle out. These bauxite solids are then passed through a
Bauxite is the primary ore for aluminum extraction. It is treated with sodium hydroxide at above 200 °C to extract alumina in the Bayer's process. Iron, together with impurities that are insoluble in the caustic solution, will be removed by clarification. The residue generated after clarification is known as bauxite residue (or red mud).
80-Series Tech. Closed: Pink is not the same as Red. If you do choose to go with Red, make sure you know how to mix it properly, account for the distilled water still inside the cooling system from the repeat flush and then. Red is a premium option as the green is cheaper and much more common option.
Acid mine drainage (AMD), red mud (RM) and coal fly ash (CFA) are potential high environmental pollution problems due to their acidity, toxic metals and sulphate contents. Treatment of acidic mine water requires the generation of enough alkalinity to neutralize the excess acidity. Therefore, red mud types from Germany and …
The pH value of red mud is 10–12 due to sodium values, and high alkalinity makes it corrosive. The red mud particles have fine morphology with an average particle size of less than 10 µm and a density of 3–3.8 g/cm 3.The specific surface area of the particles lies in the range of 10–25 m 2 /g, which depends dominantly upon the …
The polymer is added to the red mud-containing liquor in an amount sufficient to reduce the concentration of suspended solids in the supernatant phase and/or increase the rate of sedimentation. ... The present invention is a method for clarification of red mud-containing slurries, particularly the slurry generated in the Bayer process for the ...

Abstract. Red mud is a by-product of alumina extraction from bauxite ore. It contains high quantities of alkali, minerals, and metal ions, which are typically pumped as thick slurry to a residue disposal area. Dry cake disposal is the most preferred technique for the disposal of red mud, which reduces the environmental impact.

Flocculation and separation of red mud is an integral part of the Bayer process. Over the latter half of the 20 th century, flocculant technology dramatically changed from natural starches to use of "rationally designed" polymers. Many of these advancements were due to the introduction of liquid or emulsion based flocculants which enabled elaborate post …

After the reaction, sodium aluminate solution and insoluble residue (red mud) can be obtained by clarification. Then alumina is produced by gibbsite precipitation followed with calcination of the gibbsite. Besides, the solution gained during gibbsite precipitation can be recycled to the digestion process by evaporation.
