The processing of high silica bauxites ScienceDirect
1 Introduction11 ScopeThis document will critically review existing and potential processes for the processing of high silica bauxites High silica bauxites are usually considered to be those with reactive silica contents in excess of ∼ 8% by weight of the bauxite (reactive silica is defined later in this paper) This review is limited to A process for removing silica from bauxite is disclosed The method includes the step of mixing bauxite with a caustic liquor to form a mixture and to dissolve and stabilise at least a substantial part of the reactive silica from the bauxite The caustic liquor is selected to have a high caustic concentration and a high alumina contentEPA1 Removal of silica from bauxite Google Patents
SILICA REMOVAL FROM BAUXITES | Project Fact sheet CORDIS
The work to be carried out involves the partial removal of silica from bauxite ores by means of microorganism assisted leaching The bauxite ores to be studied are those of interest to the industrial partners and include high silica bauxite from Greek deposits (Parnassus Ghiona area) and high silica bauxite from Italian deposits (Nurra Bauxite underwent cyclic desilication and the alumina/silica ratio was increased from ∼41 to >75 Effective utilization of red mud and alkalisilicate solution greatly reduces the cost of the desilication process, thereby making it applicable to lowgrade bauxite in the Bayer processStructure transformation of sodium aluminosilicates as

the separation of REEs against silica in advance The feasibility of selectively removing silica from the ironremoved bauxite residues with simultaneously enrichment of REEs was investigated using different acid leaching agents such as Mineisolated microbes can therefore be used to bring about selective removal of iron, calcium or silica from the bauxite ores In this paper, role of microorganisms in the biogenesis and biomineraliztion of bauxite deposits is analysed Use of mine isolated bacteria such as Paenibacillus polymyxa, ironreducing bacteria and Biomineralization and Biobeneficiation of Bauxite SpringerLink
Separation of silica from bauxite via froth flotation
Bauxite is the main raw material in primary aluminum production and its reactive silica content and mass ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 (A/S) has a critical role in the economic viability of Bayer processThe main objective of bauxite beneficiation is to lower the concentration of reactive silica, in the form of kaolinitic clay, and also to increase the alumina content Additionally, reduction inBauxite Beneficiation: An Approach to Value Addition in Mining
MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF SILICA IN THE BAYER
high quality bauxite containing the most “desirable” quantities of silica are steadily reduced over time A reduction in the quantity of unwanted silicacontaining minerals in the bauxite can be achieved through benefi ciation (eg fl otation, dry milling) prior to addition to the Bayer circuit [Massola, et al, 2009]Bauxite is a sedimentary rock mineral that is the primary source of aluminum It is formed through the weathering of aluminumrich rocks in tropical and subtropical regions The name bauxite is derived Bauxite Properties, Formation, Uses » geologyscience
Beneficiation Aspects to Improve the Quality of Bauxite Mining
For the production of 1 tonne of alumina, 8–10 tonnes of mining Bauxite wastes are generated It is important to note that most of the Bauxite mining wastes generated are PLK rock containing 40–55% Al 2 O 3, 03–30% Fe 2 O 3, 097–3% TiO 2, 20–30% SiO 2 and 20–30% LOI In spite of having the metallurgical grade of Al 2 O 3 it Similarly, iron oxidizing and silicate bacteria respectively remove iron and solubilise silica from the lowgrade bauxite However, the pilot scale operation of the bauxite bio beneficiation has(PDF) Biobeneficiation Possibility of Lowgrade Bauxite
