Abstract

In this paper, the influence of process parameters on the morphological properties of fine precipitated hydrate was examined. The research was conducted with the aim of synthesizing fine precipitated aluminum hydroxide from the aluminate solution obtained by the Bayer process. Fine precipitated hydrates obtained in this way are mostly used in the non-metallurgical industry. The synthesized fine precipitated hydrate should comply with certain quality requirements such as granulometry (average particle diameter), purity, specific surface area, whiteness, etc. This paper shows the influence of certain technological parameters, namely the initial precipitation temperature, the amount and specific surface area of the seed, the influence of the NaOH/Al(OH)3 molar ratio on the characteristics of the synthesized fine precipitated hydrate in terms of the specific surface area, mean diameter and morphology of the obtained particles.
