Chapter 15. Solubility of Solids in Bayer Liquors

Abstract

The Bayer process1 involves the selective dissolution of Al(OH)3(gibbsite) and/or AlOOH (boehmite) in hot, concentrated caustic (NaOH) solution and the subsequent precipitation, on cooling, of purified gibbsite from the resulting supersaturated alkaline aluminate solutions (‘Bayer liquors’). This is...
