Abstract
In a process for precipitating alumina hydrate from a stream of Bayer process liquor, wherein the stream is first divided into a major portion and a minor portion, the minor portion fed to an agglomeration stage and seeded with fine seed to induce precipitation and formation of a slurry, and the major portion cooled and charged with coarse seed and directed to a growth stage to induce formation of alumina hydrate product, the steps of: separating solids from the minor portion after formation of the slurry; cooling, to a temperature of between about 45.degree. C. and about 60.degree. C., the liquid remaining after separating solids from the slurry formed in the agglomeration stage; adding an amount of coarse seed to the remaining liquid to generate a slurry of fresh hydrate nuclei; and recombining the slurry of fresh hydrate nuclei with the major portion of the stream.
