Studies and modelling of the process of decomposition of ...
Some processes use carbonation as the method of recovering alumina eg. the Grzymek process (Grzymek, 1960). There are three fundamental steps in the process of carbonation, viz. CO2 absorption, hydrolysis (decomposition) of the aluminate ion and crystalliza- tion of aluminium hydroxide. ... which continues until a partic ular alumina to ...
