ICC - Process Overview Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-overview/329-A.jpg
ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Aluminum Hydroxide Gel</b>. Aluminum Hydroxide (a.k.a. Hydrated Alumina, Alumina Trihydrate) is a white amorphous powder produced primarily from bauxite, a sedimentary rock rich in aluminum. It is insoluble in water, but soluble both in acids and alkalis. Most of the aluminum hydroxide produced is calcined and used for aluminum metal production.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Soda Ash</b>. Sodium Carbonate, also known as soda ash, is the disodium salt of carbonic acid. This chemical can be obtained from natural deposits as well as synthetically produced (through the Solvay process). Soda ash is widely used in production of glass, chemicals, soaps, detergents, pulp and paper.</p> <b>Aluminum Sulfate</b>. Aluminum sulfate is an inorganic compound used extensively in water treatment as a coagulant, aiding in the removal of suspended particles and impurities. It is also used in paper production and textiles as a mordant to fix dyes. Aluminum sulfate is produced by reacting sulfuric acid with aluminum hydroxide and is stored as either a liquid or solid. Beyond water treatment, it plays a role in the tanning industry for pH control and helps stabilize wastewater during industrial processing.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/329-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) neutralization; and (2) separation and finishing.</p><p>Neutralization. Initially, raw materials solutions are prepared by diluting aluminum sulfate and sodium carbonate in tanks equipped with stirring systems. Both solutions are fed to an agitated-type reactor where the neutralization reaction takes place at moderate agitation. The reaction product, a slurry containing the precipitated Aluminum Hydroxide gel formed, is directed to separation steps, downstream.</p><p>Separation and finishing. The suspension from neutralization area is fed to a rotary vacuum filter for separation of the Aluminum Hydroxide from the reaction mixture and washing out the salts contained in the filter cake. The filter cake is then conveyed to a spray dryer for powder formation, and subsequently cooled to ambient temperature, ground to the desired particle size and classified by sieving. Finally, the Aluminum Hydroxide gel powder is packed in bags and then sent to warehouses at the facility’s OSBL to be stored.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This report presents the economics of a typical Aluminum Hydroxide Gel production process from aluminum sulfate and soda ash in the United States. In the process, soda ash and aluminum sulfate are dissolved in water and undergo a neutralization reaction to produce the aluminum hydroxide gel.

Aluminum Hydroxide Production from Bauxite

This study examines the economics of Aluminum Hydroxide (Aluminum Trihydroxide, ATH) production from bauxite via the typical Bayer process, in a plant located in the United States. In this process, bauxite is dissolved in a sodium hydroxide solution under pressure at elevated temperatures, solid impurities are separated, the Aluminum Hydroxide solution is subjected to crystallization, then filtered and dried.

Polylactic Acid Production from Raw Sugar

This study approaches the economics of Polylactic Acid production from raw sugar in Germany. Initially, raw sugar is hydrolyzed into invert sugars. The invert sugars are then fermented to produce lactic acid, in a process similar to Cargill process. The lactic acid is oligomerized and then depolymerized into lactide, which is finally polymerized to yield PLA by ring opening polymerization, similar to the one proposed by NatureWorks.
