Problems solved by technology

Most of the organic matter in bauxite enters the sodium aluminate solution during the dissolution process, and various organic additives will also remain in the sodium aluminate solution. These organic matters are transformed during alumina production and circulated in the mother liquor. Accumulated during the process, resulting in many kinds of organic matter and high concentration in the sodium aluminate solution, which has led to difficulty in desiliconization, difficulty in slurry separation, low decomposition rate, high impurity content in the product, poor physical indicators of the product, etc., seriously affecting the normal operation of alumina , it is urgent to reduce the concentration of organic matter in sodium aluminate solution

Abstract

The invention provides a method for safely and efficiently producing sand-like alumina from aluminum ash. The method comprises the steps as follows: 1) aluminum ash is added to a sodium aluminate to react with the sodium aluminate solution, then solid-liquid separation is performed, a first-section digestion liquid and aluminum ash residues are obtained, and hydrogen and ammonia gas are comprehensively utilized; 2) alkali and an additive are added to the aluminum ash residues, raw slurry is obtained, and thus chlorine and fluorine elements are prevented from entering tail gas; 3) the raw slurry is sintered and clinker is obtained; 4) the clinker is added to an adjustment liquid for digestion, and second-section digestion slurry is obtained; 5) the first-section digestion liquid and the second-section digestion slurry are mixed in a Bayer process digestion slurry dilution system for production of the sand-like alumina by the Bayer process system. Nitrogen, fluorine, chlorine, hydrogen and other harmful elements in the aluminum ash are disposed safely, the concentration of organic matter in a Bayer process solution is decreased, and aluminum components are recovered efficiently and economically; for the aluminum ash, the method has the characteristics of safety, high efficiency, low cost and the like; for the Bayer process system, the yield is increased, the solution is purified, and the production efficiency is significantly improved.
