Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for electrolytic production of aluminium from aluminium chloride, in an electrolysis cell with an electrolyte, where the aluminium chloride is produced by chlorination of an aluminium containing feedstock using chlorine gas and a carbonaceous reducing agent, CO and/or phosgene. The produced aluminium chloride is led to an absorption unit and partly absorbed by a molten salt liquid where some of the molten salt liquid in the absorption unit, enriched with aluminium chloride by the absorption, is transferred to the electrolysis cell wherein the aluminium chloride is electrolytically converted to aluminium metal and chlorine gas. The gases that are not absorbed by the liquid is led out of the absorption unit. The invention also relates to an apparatus for operating the process.

Abstract

The present application relates to a method and a system for the long-term management of the tailings generated during bauxite mining. Bauxite ores are often found under a shallow (normally less than 15 meters) layer of soil (called overburden). The mining process comprises the following main operations, carried out in sequence: vegetal suppression, overburden removal, bauxite removal and transportation, bauxite beneficiation and land rehabilitation. The present invention relates to a method and a system that, by backfilling the tailings generated during the beneficiation step essentially back to the same place the material was originally mined, significantly reduces the environmental footprint, the operational risk and the capital intensity of the bauxite mining activity.
