Abstract
This paper investigates the production of alumina from kaolinite by leaching method using hydrochloric acid. Raw kaolin was calcined at 850?C then leached with 6 M hydrochloric acid at 90?C, followed by the addition of 6 M HCl solution to the leachate the aluminum hydroxide was precipitated. Finally, precipitated aluminum hydroxide was heated at 1100?C and turned into aluminum oxide. Materials were identified by XRF, XRD and SEM-EDX techniques. Alumina recovery percentage was determined at different kaolin particle sizes (-200 to -400 standard Tyler screen mesh), different times (1, 2, 3 and 4 h), different leaching temperatures (80, 90, 100 and 104?C) and different concentrations of hydrochloric acid (20, 25, 30 and 37%). Alumina phase changes were also investigated at two calcination temperatures (1100 and 1200?C). The purity of aluminum oxide obtained from this process is about 97% and its recovery percentage is about 98%. It was observed that kaolin granulation with dimensions less than 75 ?m had no significant effect on alumina recovery percentage. It was also found that, the alumina recovery percentage increased with increasing leaching temperature.
期刊介绍:
University of Belgrade, Technical Faculty in Bor, has been publishing the journal called Journal of Mining and Metallurgy since 1965 and in 1997 it was divided in two independent journals dealing with mining and metallurgy separately. Since 2009 Journal of Mining and Metallurgy, Section B: Metallurgy has been accepted in Science Citation Index Expanded.
Journal of Mining and Metallurgy, Section B: Metallurgy presents an international medium for the publication of contributions on original research which reflect the new progresses in theory and practice of metallurgy. The Journal covers the latest research in all aspects of metallurgy including hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, transport phenomena, process control, solidification, mechanical working, solid state reactions, materials processing, surface treatment and relationships among processing, structure, and properties of materials.
