Aluminium production: an example calculation of the energy ... DoITPoMS
The Bayer HallHéroult process produces primary aluminium from bauxite ore. Initially, the Bayer process produces pure alumina (Al 2 O 3) by dissolving the raw bauxite ore in aqueous alkali solution. This is carried out at high pressure and temperature. Pure Al(OH) 3 is precipitated from the resulting solution, which allows separation of ...
