The same lime ratio is still applicable now. In Russia this method was further developed by VAMI specialist work (A. Yakovkin, V. Mazel, F. Strokov et.a!.), including dry and wet mix sintering. The method is efficiently used for alumina production at sinter branch at Bogoslovky alumina refinery.
An electrical current is run through the mixture, causing the carbon from the carbon anode to attach to the oxygen component in the alumina, yielding aluminum and carbon dioxide: 2 Al2O3 + 3 C > 4 Al + 3 CO2. This process takes place at temperatures between 940-980º C and yields an aluminum of high purity.
A cross-sectional study of employees at a US bauxite mine, alumina refinery, and alumina-based chemical products plant studied lung function in relation to cumulative total dust exposures. 18 The subjects were employed at some time between 1975 and 1981. Because one third of the study cohort never smoked, the effects of dust exposure could …

of alumina in the stream. Controlling this alumina/ caustic (A/C) ratio in the digester is essential to the process. Generally, the process is most efficient when the ratio is higher. An abnormally high ratio, on the other hand, causes early precipitation of alumina on the filters, causing product loss and scaling problems.
