explain halls process used for concentration of bauxite ore
Answers
Explanation:
The bauxite ore contains ferric oxide and silica as impurities. It is first concentrated by gravity separation of ferric oxide impurities by the process of magnetic separation. The ore is then concentrated by chemical process.
Bauxite is the name given to aluminium ore. To generate aluminium oxide, bauxite is purified, a white powder form which aluminium can be extracted. Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point of more than 2000 ° C so melting it would be costly. Aluminium oxide in water does not dissolve, but in molten cryolite, it dissolves.
Aluminium Alloy
Pure aluminium is a silver-white metal with many desirable features. It’s light, non-toxic, non-magnetic, and non-sparking. It’s a bit ornamental. It’s created, machined, and cast readily. Pure aluminium is soft and lacks strength, but it has very helpful characteristics for alloys with tiny quantities of copper, magnesium, silicon, manganese and other components.
Explanation:
The bauxite is purified by the Bayer Process. First the ore is mixed with a hot concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide. The NaOH will dissolve the oxides of aluminum and silicon but not other impurities such as iron oxides, which remains insoluble. ... (Sodium metal is not easy to obtain either).
