    摘要: A method of forming and classifying a precipitate containing large, coarse and fine particles from a super-saturated precipitating mother slurry, e.g. sodium aluminate from the Bayer process. The method comprises separating the precipitating mother slurry into a plurality of separate streams, introducing each stream into a vessel provided with an agitated lower zone and a quiescent upper zone to form the precipitate, with the large and coarse particles remaining as a slurry in the agitated lower zone and the fine particles migrating to the quiescent zone, removing product slurry from the lower agitated zone, and removing spent liquor containing the fine particles from the quiescent upper zone. The invention also provides apparatus for carrying out the method. The combined precipitation and partial classification (separation of fine particles) makes it possible to deal with high solids charges increasingly encountered in industrial processes.

    摘要: An improved process for precipitating alumina from Bayer process liquors is disclosed. The process involves dividing an incoming pregnant liquor stream into a minor portion of about 10 to about 25% of the total incoming pregnant liquor stream, and directing that stream into a series of small tanks where the minor stream is permitted to agglomerate. Fine aluminum hydroxide seed having a median particle size of between about 30 and about 60 microns is added to this stream. The slurry resulting from the agglomeration stage is then directed to a set of larger vessels in which the growth stage will take place. At this point, the remaining portion of the pregnant liquor is combined with the slurry resulting from the agglomeration stage. A coarse seed charge of about 150 to about 600 grams/liter of seed having a median particle size of between about 80 and about 100 microns is charged into the second set of vessels. This improved process helps to increase the yield of a strong coarse aluminum trihydroxide product.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for decomposing a sodium aluminate liquor supersaturated with alumina, obtained from alkaline action on bauxite by the Bayer process, is initiated by introduction of alumina trihydrate seed, thereby forming a suspension. The suspension is fed in at the top of a non-agitated reactor described as a "decomposer", and removed from the bottom of the decomposer; the speed at which the suspension moves downwardly is regulated at 1.5 to 10 meters per hour. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical-conical reactor which is fitted with an arrangement for feeding in the suspension at the top, and with an arrangement for taking out the suspension at the bottom. In one embodiment of the apparatus the suspension is taken from the base of the decomposer through an internal tube, with air injected into the bottom of it, is raised to the level of the top of the decomposer and is then sent downstream.

    摘要: A process for the purification of spent liquor from an alumina precipitation stage is disclosed wherein the spent liquor is first contacted with 50 volume % or less ethanol to form a sodium oxalate precipitate and the, after removal of the sodium oxalate precipitate is contacted with over 50 volume % of ethanol extraction fluid to separate the mixture into a first layer comprising the ethanol and at least a portion of the caustic from the spent liquor and a second layer which comprises the remainder of the spent liquor. The spent liquor may then be subjected to a further precipitation to recover further alumina. The spent liquor remaining may be further treated in subsequent extraction steps to concentrate and dispose of undesirable impurities remaining.

    摘要: Coarse grains of aluminum hydroxide are economically produced in a high yield from sodium aluminate solution by dividing supersaturated sodium aluminate solution being prepared by the Bayer process and having a molar ratio of Na.sub.2 O as caustic soda to Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 in solution of less than 1.8 into two streams, adding a portion of recycle seed aluminum hydroxide and fine grains of aluminum hydroxide as seed to one of the streams of sodium aluminate solution, partially decomposing the sodium aluminate solution until the molar ratio of the sodium solution reaches 1.8-2.6, adding to the resulting partially decomposed sodium aluminate slurry the other stream of sodium aluminate solution, which has been cooled to a temperature low enough to lower the temperature of the partially decomposed sodium aluminate slurry by at least 3.degree. C., and the remaining portion of recycle seed aluminum hydroxide, and then further decomposing the cooled and mixed sodium aluminate slurry until the molar ratio of the sodium aluminate slurry reaches 2.6-4.0. The resulting coarse grains of aluminum hydroxide have a high resistance to disintegration to fine powder when calcined.

    摘要: A precipitation system is provided for the production of strong, coarse alumina hydrate (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.3H.sub.2 O) from Bayer process aluminate liquors. In the system three distinct, but interconnected processing stages are utilized which comprise an agglomeration stage, a growth stage and a seed generation stage. In the agglomeration stage hydrate particles agglomerate to form coarse particles; in the growth stage these particles grow and acquire strength; while in the seed generation stage alumina hydrate seed is generated to be used in the agglomeration and growth stages.The precipitation system combines the advantages of both the American and European Bayer processes in that it results in the production of a strong, coarse product hydrate and an increased yield.
