Explain Bayer's method obtaining alumina from bauxite with
WEBOn refining bauxite by Bayers method, pure aluminium oxide is obtained which is also called alumina. In this method, bauxite powder is taken and concentrated ( 45 %) and sodium hydroxide solution is added and then heated in a closed vessel at 433 K temperature and 5 to 6 bars of pressure, for 6 to 8 hours, so that aluminium oxide .
