Method of producing low soda alumina, low soda alumina produced by the method and method of producing porcelain

摘要

A method of producing alumina having a low soda content and excellent sintering properties includes the steps of adding a soda removal agent to alumina source material and calcining the alumina source material in a calciner (2), using a dust collector (5) to collect calcined alumina source material dust contained in the exhaust gas, discharging a portion of the collected dust out of the system, slurrying another portion of the collected dust in a slurrifier (10) while controlling slurry pH, washing and filtering the slurried dust and recirculating it back to the calciner, recirculating still another portion of the collected dust together with a mineralizing agent to the calciner, and removing the low soda alumina after the calcination.
