Abstract
A process in which alumina is extracted from bauxite with an aqueous alkali solution, and a desilication product is precipitated such that the product is not contained in a bauxite residue and does not form a complex. The desilication product is mixed with a calcium compound, and the mixture is calcined, to thereby solubilize and recover an alkali component of the product. In addition, an alkali component is removed from a residue (a solid product), and the residue is effectively used as a resource.
