The effect of anatase, rutile and sodium titanate on the dissolution of boehmite and gibbsite at 90C

Industrial plants that refine bauxite to alumina using the high temperature process have always held thebelief that anatase was detrimental to the extraction of boehmite while rutile was not. This study shows that this effect is real and that it is observable at temperatures as low as 90 C. The extr...
