DEF

[A process where] sodium carbonate is treated with calcium hydroxide to create calcium carbonate and sodium hydroxide. The precipitated calcium carbonate and the NaOH in solution are then fed to "thickeners" where a 12% caustic soda solution is obtained accompanied by a calcium carbonate cake. The cake is then burned for reuse in the process. Air pollution results in this process from lime dust, kiln gases, etc. These can be controlled by scrubbers.

Procédés de traitement des silicoalumineux. Procédés alcalins. Ces procédés s'adressent aux silicoaluminates alcalins ou alcalinoterreux et comportent un traitement préalable à haute température, avec frittage du minerai en présence de réactif alcalin, tel que le carbonate de soude ou le chaux. Le traitement de lixiviation de la fritte obtenue fournit une lessive alcaline d'alumine dont le traitement se rapproche du procédé Bayer. - TEING M8 M23382.
