Caption: In a demonstration of the basic chemical reactions used in the new process, electrolysis takes place in neutral water. Dyes show how acid (pink) and base (purple) are produced at the positive and negative electrodes. A variation of this process can be used to convert calcium carbonate (CaCO3) into calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), which can then be used to make Portland cement without ...

Perovskite 1. Introduction Lime is often considered as a panacea in the Bayer process. Its uses are so widespread that there is virtually no unit operation where it does not find an application. Table 1 gives an overview of the main uses of lime in the Bayer process, including low temperature applications (not all applications are given).

Apart from recovering iron, Liu et al. (2012) employed a sodalime roasting process prior to leaching and magnetic separation of the fine red mud (<75 μm) aiming to develop an economicallyfeasible zero waste utilization process. The sodalime roasting facilitates the formation of sodium aluminosilicate which can then be recovered by leaching.
