Recovery of Iron and Aluminum from Bauxite Residue by ... Springer
Abstract The recovery of major components of bauxite residue by carbothermic reduction at °C and subsequent slag leaching in a Na3CO3(aq) solution is studied. Iron recovers primarily to pigiron and lime is added to tune the calcium aluminate slags towards the highly leachable mayenite phase. The concentration of aluminum in the leachate correlates well with the occurrence of ...
