Abstract

The precipitation of aluminum hydroxide from a supersaturated sodium aluminate solution is known as an essential production step in the Bayer process. In this work, the real precipitation process in the Iran Alumina Plant was modeled by the historical data with the help of Design Expert. According to the results obtained, the recovery is significantly improved with decrease in the Super-saturation factor (α ) of the solution. However, this modification was found to be the most difficult change due to the operational problems. The results obtained indicated the significant impact of the seed size on the product size. The negligible effects of the other parameters involved on controlling the amount of fine grains (< 44 µ m) and coarse grains (> 150 µ m) in the product showed the significance of reactivating the classification and Agglomeration sections. Ultimately, it was found that the recovery process could be enhanced from 46. 32% to 47. 86% at a constant α by increasing the seed concentration to 400 g/L, increasing the retention time by adding two precipitation tanks and reducing the temperature of the last precipitation tank by 2 º C (by reducing the temperature of the inlet suspension), while preserving the quality of the product.
