Abstract

The invention discloses a separation method of alkaline liquid in production of alumina. The separation method is characterized in that sodium hydroxide and sodium metaaluminate in alkaline liquid can be separated by an electroosmosis device. According to the separation method disclosed by the invention, the alumina production process is optimized, i.e., the sodium hydroxide and sodium metaaluminate in the alkaline liquid are subjected to membrane separation before crystal seeds are introduced, therefore, the energy consumption and time in the subsequent crystal seed precipitation process can be reduced and shortened, and the productivity of aluminum hydroxide is increased; in addition, the purity of alkali in mother liquor can be improved and recycling of alkali is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating sodium hydroxide and sodium metaaluminate in alkaline feed liquid during alumina production. Background technique [0002] The production methods of alumina mainly include Bayer method, soda lime sintering method and Bayer-sintering combined method. Among them, the Bayer process has always been the main method of producing alumina, and its output accounts for about 95% of the world's total alumina production. The principle is to first crush and wet-grind bauxite, and then heat and dissolve aluminum with caustic soda (NaOH) solution After separating the residue (red mud) from the alumina in the soil ore, an alkaline feed liquid containing sodium hydroxide and sodium metaaluminate is obtained. The treatment process of the alkaline material liquid is generally as follows: lower the temperature, add aluminum hydroxide as a seed crystal, and stir for a long time to decompose sodium metaaluminate to precipita...
