Title: Determination and evaluation of organic balances of alumina refineries

Book ·
OSTI ID:371928

The adequate measures to control the organic level and especially that of humates and oxalate need the determination and evaluation of the organic balance of the given alumina plant. The organic materials of the different alumina refineries have special compositions, therefore it is very difficult and limited to draw general and common conclusions for all alumina refineries concerning the role and control of organics. The methodology of the determination of the organic balance of an alumina plant will be discussed. The qualitative and quantitative determination of organic materials has been performed by means of gas-chromatography of the esterized organic materials. The organic balances of three different alumina refineries will be compared and evaluated relating to the total organic and oxalate contents.
