![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Crystallization of monosodium aluminate hydrate from a concentrated aluminate solution containing silica Crystallization of monosodium aluminate hydrate from a concentrated aluminate solution containing silica](/preview/png/212565.png)
The influence of silica content in concentrated aluminate solution on the crystallization of monosodium aluminate hydrate (MAH) has been investigated systematically. The resultant crystals were found to be round flakes, with a high silica concentration significantly inhibiting the crystallization. The conversion ratio and the average particle size of MAH crystals decreased with increasing SiO2 concentration in solution. The silicate impurity phases which crystallized simultaneously with MAH were identified as NaAlSiO4 and Na2SiO3 from low silica solution, Ca3Al2Si3O12, Ca3Al2(SiO4)2(OH)4, and Na4Ca4(Si6O18) we obtained when there was a high silica concentration. These phases have a much higher silica content than the more common desilication product Ca3Al2(SiO4)n(OH)12–4n from the Bayer process for alumina production where n is usually below 0.8.
► We study MAH crystallization from the concentrated aluminate solution with silicate.
► The morphology of crystals was basically separated or aggregated flakes.
► An increase in silicate concentration decreases the conversion ratio.
► An increase in silicate concentration decreases the average particle size.
► The hydrogarnet contains much more silica than that formed in Bayer process.
