    Abstract:

    The low grade bauxite utilization and red mud treatment become to the key problems of Bayer process caused by the balance phase of sodium aluminosilicate. To solve these problems, ¡°Calcification-Carbonation Method¡± was put forward by Northeastern University. The main purpose of this method is to change the balance phase of red mud into 2CaO•SiO2 and CaCO3 with a low energy consumption hydrometallurgical process. Through treatment by ¡°Calcification-Carbonation Method¡±, A/S of the new structure red mud lowered below to 0.5 and the Na content lowered below to 0.3%, the red mud could be used in cement industry directly or planting soil preparation. This paper mainly introduced the technological idea and principle of new method, thermodynamic analysis and typical experiment results are given as well.
