N1 - Research was funded by the Project of the State Assignment, FEUZ-2021-0017. The methods for determining the chemical composition of raw bauxite and solid residue after pulp filtration by XRF (see Section 2.3. “Methods of analysis”) were funded by the Project of the State Assignment (Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry of Russian Academy of Sciences, No. FMUS-2019-24). Mössbauer analysis was performed in accordance with the state assignment of Lomonosov Moscow State University “Solving of problems of nuclear energy and environmental safety problems as well as diagnostics of materials using ionizing radiation” (Project Reg. No. 122030200324-1).

N2 - The Bayer process is the main method of alumina production worldwide. The use of low-quality bauxites for alumina production results in the formation of a significant amount of technogenic waste—bauxite residue (BR). The Bayer reductive method is one possible way to eliminate BR stockpiling, but it requires high-pressure leaching at temperatures higher than 220 °C. In this research, the possibility of boehmitic bauxite atmospheric pressure leaching at both the first and second stages or high-pressure leaching at the second stage with the simultaneous reduction of hematite to magnetite was investigated. Bauxite and solid residue after NaOH leaching were characterized using XRD, SEM-EDS, and Mössbauer spectroscopy methods. The first stage of leaching under atmospheric pressure with the addition of Fe(II) species in a strong alkali solution (330–400 g L–1 Na2O) resulted in a partial reduction of the iron minerals and an extraction of more than 60% of Si and 5–25% of Al (depending on caustic modulus of solution) after 1 h. The obtained desilicated bauxite was subjected to atmospheric leaching at 120 °C in a strong alkali solution (350 g L−1) or high-pressure leaching at 160–220 °C using the Bayer process mother liquor in order to obtain a concentrate with a magnetite content higher than 83 wt. %. © 2023 by the authors.
