    Abstract: A process for preparing high purity alumina from aluminium-bearing materials is provided. The process digesting an aluminium bearing material to provide an aluminium chloride liquor, a first crystallisation vessel for crystallising aluminium chloride hexahydrate solids from the aluminium chloride liquor, optionally one or more subsequent crystallisation vessels for dissolving and recrystallising the aluminium chloride hexahydrate solids, and thermal treatment means for thermally treating the aluminium chloride hexahydrate solids to provide high purity alumina.

    Abstract: A process is described for the formation of high purity alumina from aluminas such as Bayer Process alumina trihydrate (gibbsite) which contain both acid-soluble and -insoluble impurities, notably soda and silica. The solid hydrated alumina is reacted with a stoichiometric quantity of concentrated HCl to form a reaction product comprising of dissolved aluminum chloride and solid aluminum chloride hexahydrate (ACH). The acid and/or aluminum chloride concentration of the solution is then adjusted (as by water addition) to dissolve the solid ACH and form a solution at or near saturation in aluminum chloride, but with the remaining solid materials undissolved. The solution is then subjected to solid/liquid separation to eliminate the insoluble impurities, such as silica. Thereafter, the concentration is again adjusted to cause the ACH to crystallize and precipitate preferentially to the soluble impurities, following which the ACH is recovered as a solid and calcined in a single or multistage calcination to high purity alumina. The purified products find use in the specialty ceramics field, as synthetic sapphire, translucent tubing or other applications in which alumina must meet SPA specifications.
