Digestion behavior and removal of sulfur in high-sulfur bauxite …
During digestion process, the S 2 O 3 2− reacts with Fe to corrode equipment, it is extremely dangerous in Bayer process. When the sulfur content of bauxite is over 0.5%, the equipment (such as sleeve pipe preheater, flow pipes, and valves etc.) can be corroded seriously after one month. So the S 2 O 3 2− must be removed in the production ...
