Detailed Project Report on aluminium trihydrate from bauxite in atmospheric digesters, at-110 deg celcius cap-50 tpd

 
ALUMINIUM TRIHYDRATE FROM BAUXITE
IN ATMOSPHERIC DIGESTERS, AT 110 DEG. CELCIUS
CAP- 50 TPD
[CODE NO.1954]


Alumina Trihydrate has a number of common names used throughout the chemical industry which include; Hydrate Alumina, Alumina Hydrate, Aluminium Tri Hydroxide, ATH, Aluminium Hydrate and Aluminium Hydroxide. Alumina Trihydrate is a white, odorless, powdery, solid substance. Alumina Trihydrate demonstrates a very low solubility in water but is considered to be amphoteric, meaning it will dissolve in both acids or a strong alkali. The most common use of Alumina Trihydrate is for the production of aluminum metal. It is also used as a flame retardant and smoke suppressant filler in polymers such as rubber products and carpet backing.

 
Annual production of Alumina Trihydrate is around 100 million tonnes which is nearly all produced through the Bayer process. The Bayer process dissolves bauxite (Aluminium Ore) in sodium hydroxide at elevated temperatures. Alumina Trihydrate is then separated from the solids that remain after the heating process. The solids remaining after the Alumina Trihydrate is removed is highly toxic and presents environmental issues.
