Bauxite grinding mills serve as a bridge between mining and refining, transforming raw bauxite ore into a form suitable for the Bayer process. The ground bauxite, known as red mud, contains a high concentration of aluminum oxide (alumina), the primary feedstock for aluminum production. The efficiency and effectiveness of bauxite grinding mills ...

With increasing need for fine and ultrafine grinding, stirred media mills became an alternative for conventional ball mills. In this study, samples of bauxite whose chemical composition and Hardgrove Index values are known were ground to micronized size by a laboratory scale stirred media mill and its performance was compared with a …
Abstract: This article investigates the use of a mesoscale kinetic model to cooperate with the operational optimal control of bauxite ore grinding process. In this article, we propose a new modeling framework where a discretized distributed parameter macroscale model and a mesoscale kinetic model are combined to predict the grinding …
A high sulfur content is one of the challenges in the processing of refractory bauxites in China. The high carbon content of bauxite makes it more difficult to deal with. Desulfurization and decarbonization are the critical issues in the efficient exploitation of high-sulfur bauxite resources. An experimental study on the removal of sulfur and …

The Al in solution is universally expressed as alumina (Al 2 O 3) g/l. The amount of Al that is in solution relative to the NaOH, however, may again be expressed differently. In France, it is expressed as RP = Al 2 O 3 /Na 2 O g/l. In other locations, it may be expressed as a reversed molar ratio, MR = Na 2 O/Al 2 O 3 mol/l.
