TENORM: Bauxite and Alumina Production Wastes | US EPA
The Bayer Process. The Bayer Process, which is used by about 80 active plants worldwide, is the primary method of producing aluminum from bauxite. Bauxite ore is dissolved in sodium hydroxide, or lye, at a high temperature and pressure. Then, the alumina and bauxite ores are separated by washing out the waste (red muds or sands) from the alumina.

Bayer Process
The Bayer process is the most commonly used refinement route, though certain countries use alternatives called the combined or parallel Bayer-Sinter process and the Nepheline-based process [20, 37].This section describes purely the Bayer Process. Due to the impurities in the bauxite ore, it requires treatment to produce purer alumina, Al 2 O 3 [18].This is achieved by …
