Solution. In the extraction of aluminium, the significance of leaching is to concentrate pure alumina (Al 2 O 3) from bauxite ore. Bauxite usually contains silica, iron oxide, and titanium oxide as impurities. In the process of leaching, alumina is concentrated by digesting the powdered ore with a concentrated solution of NaOH at 473523 K and ...

The extraction of the metal from bauxite involves the three main steps. Concentration of Bauxite ( A l 2 O 3 . 2 H 2 O ) Concentration of ore is done by leaching which helps in removing impurities like F e 2 O 3, S i O 2, etc. Bauxite is treated with N a O H to form sodium aluminate which on further reaction with C O 2 gives pure Alumina.

Aluminum smelting plants are enormous and use a tremendous amount of space. (The picture below shows one such plant in Russia.) They consist of multiple banks of cells and casting facilities as well as anode production areas. But before the extraction process can begin, the bauxite ore must first be purified into pure alumina, A l O 2 3. The purification of alumina from bauxite is known as the ...

Thus, this process doesn't look compatible with laterite where the iron content is much higher than typical lowgrade bauxite. Hence, an alternative acid leaching extraction was planned. For any earth material extraction process, the study of the kinetic behavior of element extraction is crucial to make the process efficient.
