Leaching
Alumina from Bauxite
Au/Ag
Alumina Leaching
Bayer’s Method
Impurities: SiO2, FeO, TiO2
Ore+NaOH->X
X+CO2->Al2O3
Al2O3 + NaOH +3H2O
–>2Na[Al(OH)4]
+CO2–>Al2O3.xH2O
1470K–>Al2O3
Leaching Ag/Au
Ore+CN+O2 =>X
X+Zn=>M
4Au +8CN- +2H2O + O2
=>4[M(CN)2]- +4OH-
+Zn=>[Zn(CN)4]²- +2Au
Calcination
Heating
Carbonate=>Oxide+CO2
Hydroxide=>Oxide+H2O
Fe2Co3.xH2O
ZnCO3
CaCO3.MgCO3
Roasting
Heating to MP in Reverbaratory Furnace
Sulphide+O2=>Oxid+SO2
ZnS,PbS,Cu2S
Slag
FeO+SiO2=>FeSiO3
Copper Matte
Cu2S+FeS
Before Roasting Slag is produced
Froth Collectors
Na/K ethyl Xanthate
Red. of Iron Oxide
Blast Furnace
Limestone+Coke
Cu2O=>Cu
Reverbaratory Furnace
Coke+Silica
ZnO=>Zn
ZnO+ ∆ => Zn+CO
Hall Heroult’s Process
Steel Cathode => Al
Graphite Anode=>CO2
Blast Furnace Lower Temp(500-800K)
Fe2O3+CO=>Fe/Fe3O4+CO2
Fe2O3+CO=>2FeO+CO2
CaO + SiO2 => CaSiO3
Blast Furnace
Higher Temp.(900-1500K)
C+CO2=>2CO
FeO+CO=>Fe+CO2
Types of Iron
