What is the significance of leaching in the extraction of aluminium? Ans: Leaching is done to concentrate pure alumina from bauxite ore. This is done by Bayer's process in which bauxite is treated with caustic soda followed by heating and calcinating aluminium hydroxide. Q.2. Why is cryolite used in the extraction of aluminium?

XRD pattern of the initial red mud obtained by alkali fusion-leaching of bauxite (RMF). According to previous research [31,37,38,39], Sc is commonly adsorbed on Fe 2 O 3 and in channels of the aluminosilicates that is formed during desilication of pregnant solution [].During the alkali fusion-leaching method, hematite and chamosite are transformed into maghemite.

Pedersen proposed a method [73] for extracting alumina from bauxite in 1927, and it was now known as "The Pedersen Process". A simplified flow diagram of the material flow of a typical Pedersen process is shown in Fig. 6 [74]. During the Pedersen process, bauxite was smelted by using coke as the reductant and lime as a flux in resistance ...
