Stion 6.(a) What role does cryolite play in Hall Haraoult process?(b) How can alumina be separated from silica in a bauxite oreassociated with silica? Give equations also.

Answer»

Answer:

(a)

Cryolite lowers the melting point of the ore and make it more conductive in nature so as to carry out electrolysis of the ore in Hall- HEROULT process.

(b)

To separate alumina from silica in bauxite ore associated with silica, first the powdered ore is digested with a concentrated NAOH solution at 473 - 523 K and 35 - 36 bar pressure. This results in the leaching out of alumina (Al2O3) as sodium aluminate and silica (SiO2) as sodium silicate leaving the IMPURITIES behind.
