Alumina: Filtration in the alumina production process
Almost all alumina plants in the world use the Bayer process, patented over 120 years ago [US Patent 515,895 Process of making alumina, Karl Bayer], to refine bauxite to alumina. In this process, a large volume of caustic liquor circulates continuously around the plant. Bauxite is fed into the caustic stream and, after a number of processes ...
