  • Patent number: 9725785
    Abstract: A process for cold hydrochemical decomposition of sodium hydrogen aluminosilicate. The process includes decomposing sodium hydrogen aluminosilicate at low temperature with a chelate to form a solution of soluble compounds and insoluble contaminants; separating the insoluble contaminants from the solution with a coagulator and heating to coagulate the silicic acid and form a silicic acid gel; separating the silicic acid gel to form a silicic acid-free solution; decomposing the silicic acid-free solution to form a precipitate of sodium hydrogen carboaluminate and a mother liquor; separating the precipitate from the mother liquor; concentrating, cooling and regenerating the mother liquor and forming sodium hydrogen carbonate; separating the sodium hydrogen carbonate from the regenerated solution; and calcining the sodium hydrogen carboaluminate at a temperature of about 700 to about 900° C. and forming sodium aluminate.

  • Patent number: 9441283
    Abstract: Method for processing bauxite, including grinding the bauxite and extracting iron; separating the resulting pulp into a solid phase and a liquid phase; extracting aluminum from the liquid phase at a pH of about 7 to 8 to form a precipitate of sodium hydrogen carboaluminate; separating the precipitate of sodium hydrogen carboaluminate from the neutralized pulp; extracting iron from the neutralized liquid phase at a pH of at least about 12 using to form a precipitate of iron hydroxide; separating the precipitate of iron hydroxide from the basic pulp to form an iron ore concentrate and a mother liquor chelate; concentrating the mother liquor chelate using evaporation; cooling the concentrated solution; carbonizing the cooled solution with gaseous carbon dioxide under pressure to crystallize sodium hydrogen carbonate; and separating the crystallized sodium hydrogen carbonate from the carbonized solution to form a chelate liquid phase and a sodium hydrogen carbonate solid phase.
