(bauxite ore processing)
A: Bauxite ore processing involves crushing, grinding, and chemical leaching to extract alumina. Physical beneficiation removes impurities like silica. The final step is refining purified alumina via the Bayer process.
A: Beneficiation uses washing, screening, and magnetic separation to improve ore grade. Silica and iron oxides are removed to enhance alumina content. This prepares the ore for efficient chemical processing.
A: The Bayer process dissolves crushed bauxite in sodium hydroxide at high temperatures. Impurities settle as "red mud," while alumina-rich solution is crystallized. Calcination then produces pure alumina (Al₂O₃).
A: Key challenges include managing variable ore composition and removing reactive silica. High energy consumption and waste disposal (e.g., red mud) also pose environmental and technical hurdles.
A: Pure alumina reduces energy use in electrolysis during aluminum smelting. Impurities like iron degrade product quality. Efficient purification ensures cost-effective industrial-scale metal extraction.
