THE ANALYSIS OF THE SILICATES OCCURING IN THE EVAPORATION EQUIPMENT IN THE ALUMINA PRODUCTION FROM BAUXITE

Year 2011, Issue: 024, 9 - 20, 15.04.2011

Abstract

Aluminum
is the third most abundant element in the earth’s crust, where it occurs
largerly in the form of 
aluminosilicates. Evaluation of bauxites for alumina production is based
on the fact that more than 90 per cent of the world’s total alumina is produced
by the Bayer Technology in which aluminium oxide and sodium hydroxide losses,
at alkaline digestion of bauxite, are proportional to the reactive silicium
dioxide content of bauxite.



The
most important operations of the technology are bauxite preparation, digestion,
red mud seperation, washing, calcination and evaporation. As it is place of
process where compulsorily entering water separate from the solution,
evaporation section in the alumina production from bauxite is very significant.
The composition of the sodium-aluminium hydrosilicate formed can be given by
the following summarized formula:  In this study,
evaporation technology and sodium-aluminium hydrosilicate of the evaporation
process in the alumina production from bauxite were analyzed.

BOKSİTLERDEN ALÜMİNA ÜRETİM SÜRECİNDE YER ALAN BUHARLAŞTIRMA CİHAZLARINDA OLUŞAN SİLİKATLARIN ANALİZİ

Abstract

Büyük çoğunluğu alüminyum silikatlar halinde bulunan
alüminyum, yeryüzünde en çok bulunan üçüncü elementtir. Bugün dünya alümina
üretiminin %90’ından fazlası Bayer prosesi ile gerçekleştirilmektedir. Boksit
içindeki silis alkali kaybına sebep olmaktadır. Bu proseste izlenen operasyon
kademeleri, boksitin kırılması, öğütülmesi, çözünürleştirilmesi, oluşan çamurun
ayrılması, kalsinasyon ve buharlaştırmadır. Boksitlerden alümina üretim sürecinde
buharlaştırma bölümü, devreye zorunlu olarak giren suların çözeltiden ayrılması
işleminin yapıldığı yer olması bakımından büyük önem taşır. Oluşan sodyum
alüminyum silikatların genel formülü şu şekildedir:  Bu çalışmada, buharlaştırma
teknolojisi ve boksitlerden alümina üretim sürecinde buharlaştırma bölümünde
oluşan sodyum alüminyum silikatların analizi verilmiştir.
