Currently, recycled metal is diluted with primary metal to keep the concentration of alloying elements within specification. This will be more difficult in the future, when a larger proportion of the metal is made from scrap. Particularly, there is a need for a process that can remove elements more noble than aluminum from the scrap metal. While electrolytic refining in a threelayer cell (the ...

Bauxite is the main raw material in primary aluminum production and its reactive silica content and mass ratio of Al 2 O 3 to SiO 2 (A/S) has a critical role in the economic viability of Bayer process. As a major source of the reactive silica, clay impurities should be removed from the ore as much as possible by a beneficiation method such as froth flotation before the Bayer processing.
