    Mechanical activation of pyrophyllite ore for aluminum extraction by acidic leaching
    (Springer, 2018) Erdemoglu, Murat; Birinci, Mustafa; Uysal, Turan; Tuzer, Esra Porgali; Barry, Thierno Saidou
    A pyrophyllite [Al2Si4O10(OH)(2)] ore as an alternative source for alumina (Al2O3) was intensively milled for mechanical activation to increase aluminum extraction by acid leaching method. For this purpose, unmilled and milled ore samples were compared to reveal the changes caused by intensive milling. The samples were also leached in HCl solutions to determine whether mechanical activation increased the alumina extraction or not. The milling considerably disrupted XRD peak intensities of the clay minerals found in the ore, except quartz. After milling just for 30 min, peaks of the minerals were not distinguished, suggesting that all are amorphous. Dehydroxylation of the minerals in the unmilled ore was realized to occur at lower temperature ranges and energy consumed for dehydroxylation significantly reduced with prolonged milling. While aluminum recovery by leaching of the unmilled ore was about 12%, it increased to 73.09% as a result of milling the ore for 50 min. It was concluded that as the milling time is extended, energy needed to undergo dehydroxylation due to amorphization continues to decrease and aluminum recovery reaches higher values, suggesting that the clay minerals in the ore can be converted to mechanically activated state.

    Thermal and Mechanical Activation in Acid Leaching Processes of Non-bauxite Ores Available for Alumina Production-A Review
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2019) Barry, Thierno Saidou; Uysal, Turan; Birinci, Mustafa; Erdemoglu, Murat
    The rapid development of the global alumina and aluminum industry is straight coupled with the demands and the needs of these materials. Nowadays, the only well-known accessible resources to produce alumina and aluminum are bauxite ores. But bauxite ores are limited, and the remaining exploitable reserves do not have high contents in alumina. In countries where there is little or no bauxite reserves or where the recovery of existing bauxite ores to produce alumina with the Bayer process are not economic, alternative resources for alumina have been explored. The most attractive resources for replacing bauxites are aluminosilicate clay minerals and coal fly ash. The important processes developed for the recovery of alumina from these sources are acid leaching and alkaline leaching processes. The acid leaching is known as the most efficient in which thermal and mechanical activation are included for improving the performance of the process. The objective of this review is to give a comprehensive insight on the production of the alumina from thermally or mechanically activated clays and coal fly ash by hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric acid leaching processes.
