Australia is the second largest producer of alumina in the world, with around 15 per cent of global production from six alumina refineries. As water is a key input for refining bauxite into alumina, Australian alumina refineries are located in areas with reliable water supply.
201611· An important consideration in controlling alumina refinery seed classification systems is ensuring that quantity and particle size distribution for seed produced matches with that for seed charged.

Abstract Alumina is the main raw material to produce aluminium. The quality of alumina depends on many factors such as the bauxite, the process design and the process operating conditions. Some quality parameters are more reliant to one or more of the forementioned factors than others. This overview should give a high level overview on the different factors to influence the …
Abstract Alumina calciners are one of the greatest energy consumers in an alumina refinery plant. Due to the high temperature needed to remove the hydroxide of the aluminum hydroxide structure, the fuel consumption is extremely high. Regarding this, an accurate process control is essential to achieve an efficient process with low variability, better fuel consumption …
The Atlantic Alumina Company LLC owned alumina refinery in Louisiana is u2028the last remaining operating alumina manufacturer in the United States.
World Leaders in Alumina Refining For over 55 years, QAL has been one of the world''s leaders in alumina production. Our product is supplied to customers on …
Integrated refinery design based on leading-edge technologies Simplified Bayer process for alumina production Our refinery concept has been developed through continuous R&D and covers the Bayer process, ofering everything from pre-feasibility to EPC project implementation of process islands.
202533· Hindalco Muri, an Aditya Birla Group company, is engaged in manufacturing of alumina from bauxite ore. Muri has exemplified a commitment to sustainability through its comprehensive approach to resource utilization and waste management. More than 100% utilization of red mud (waste of refinery) in cement and road construction, and 100% utilization …
The coarse quartz underflow slurry is counter currently washed through a series of three mechanical classifiers in order to recover caustic and alumina so as it can be re-introduced back into the Bayer circuit. The classifiers can either be rake or spiral. Other refineries which process high quartz bauxite also use a similar approach (4).
2012102· My design project requires me to do a full chem eng design for a precipitation growth tank for alumina processing. Alumina Hydrate crystallises and forms in the tanks.
Queensland Alumina Limited (QAL) uses several Y-shaped launders (Y-flumes) at the discharge of the last precipitation tanks to direct flow into classifiers. Scale builds up in these launders causing flow restrictions and difficulty in opening the valves at the discharge end of the Y-flume.
11· 1.3. Operational context In an alumina refinery the objectives of causticisation are to: (1) convert as much of the sodium carbonate as possible to caustic while (2) minimising the loss of soluble alumina in the form of precipitates that normally deport to residue disposal and (3) using lime reagent as efficiently as possible (Fig. 3).

Abstract Since 1978, AKW Equipment + Process Design high performance polyurethane based hydrocyclones, type AKA-VORTEX, have been successfully installed and used in more than 50 alumina refinery projects. With the alumina industry returning to growth after a challenging market period, key players have understood that a successful come-back requires first a careful and …
The Bayer process is a chemical process for refining aluminium hydroxide, Al (OH) 3 from bauxite; this aluminium hydroxide is subsequently calcined to produce alumina, Al 2 O 3. The basis of the Bayer process is an understanding of the characteristics of the sodium-hydroxide—sodium-aluminate solution relationship, namely its ability to keep sodium …
2.1 Refinery Design Bauxite quality has a profound effect on the design of an alumina refinery – refer [1], i.e. the choice of a specific bauxite feed affects several important refinery design criteria. On the other hand several plant design criteria are chosen independent of the bauxite feed quality or are based on considerations other than bauxite quality alone, in the following areas:
Refinery decarbonization Our Refinery of the Future ™ project aims to achieve zero-carbon alumina refining through a host of processes and new …

The bauxite is washed and crushed, reducing the particle size and increasing the surface area for the upcoming digestion stage in the alumina refinery. Lime and spent liquor are added at the mills to make a pumpable slurry. Because silica can cause problems with the quality of the final product, bauxites with high levels of silica go through a process to remove as much of this …

The biggest pathways for decarbonising the alumina refining industry lies in the decarbonisation of the grid, and the increased electrification of refinery processes, using internationally competitive, low or zero emissions electricity.
