Explain Leaching of: (i) Alumina from Bauxite (Bayer's Process) (i
WEBPrinciple : It works on the difference in the solubilities of ore and impurities in a suitable solvent. (i) Leaching of Alumina from Bauxite ( process): Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminium. It has the impurities of ferric oxide (Fe2O3), Silica (SiO2) and titanium oxide (TiO2). The powdered ore is digested with concentrated NaOH solution at 473523 .
