Question

what is Bayer's process​

Answer 1

✌Bayers Process :-☘️

☘️ Bayers process is used in the purification of red bauxite.

✌Working :-

In the Bayer process, bauxite ore is heated in a pressure vessel along with a sodium hydroxide solution (caustic soda) at a temperature of 150 to 200 °C. At these temperatures, the aluminium is dissolved as sodium aluminate (primarily [Al(OH)4]−) in an extraction process.

Answer 2

• During the electrolysis process, aluminium is deposited at the cathode and oxygen is liberated at the anode. Some of this oxygen reacts with the carbon in the graphite to form carbon-dioxide, thus slowly burning away the anodes. Thus, the anodes have to replaced periodically
