    摘要: The invention relates to a process for the reduction of sodium hydroxide losses of the Bayer-cycle by modified causticization of red mud which comprisessubjecting an optionally previously concentrated red mud slurry led off from the red mud washing line by ramification and containing a liquid phase which has a concentration of 5-40 g. caustic Na.sub.2 0/1. caustification by adjusting the lime content expressed as CaO through addition of lime or lime milk to 1-3.2 moles per mole Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, preferably to 2-2.5 moles per mole Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, related to the total Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 content of the slurry;stirring the slurry for 0.3-5 hours at a temperature of 70.degree.-110.degree. C., preferably at 80.degree.-100.degree. C.;adding to the slurry 3-4 moles, preferably 3.2-3.4 moles, of soda related to 1 mole of the originally dissolved Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, and continuing the stirring for 1-4 hours at 80.degree.-100.degree. C., preferably at a temperature of 90.degree.-95.degree. C.;if necessary causticizing the excess of soda by adding lime or lime milk by methods known per se;if desired concentrating the slurry thus obtained and re-introducing the liquid phase thereof to the red mud washing unit which corresponds to the sodium hydroxide content thereof;and re-entering the slurry to the red mud washing line.The advantages of the process of the present invention are as follows: the sodium hydroxide losses of different origin of Bayer-type alumina production are recovered by a single operation step, the process is simple, requires no expensive equipment and is economical.
