The Bayer process is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide) and was developed by Carl Josef Bayer. Bauxite, the most important ore of aluminium, contains only 30–60% aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), the rest being a mixture of silica, various iron oxide s, and titanium dioxide. [1]

Dissolution of the alumina at high pH is well recognized in Bayer process. Bauxite is digested in very high pH solution (> 13) of alkali like sodium hydroxide at temperature of about 150–250°C and pressure at 20 atm. This is done so that the dissolved alumina is separated from rest of insoluble bauxite minerals. arrow right.
