The innovative technology for alumina industry to cut cost, enhance energy saving, and reduce red mud.
Through its unique and patented technology, IB2 is committed to upgrading the alumina refining process in partnership with alumina producers significantly promoting energy conservation, emission reduction and cost cut.
Technology :
IB2’s innovative technology will accelerate the sustainable development of the alumina industry by enabling alumina production to significantly increase the ratio of Al/Si, reduce red mud discharge and cut the use of caustic soda.
Business :
IB2 would like to fund or co-fund the IB2-driven refinement process renovation with investors/co-investors and alumina plants to advance IB2 technology applications.
IB2 Technology Breakthrough Highlights
- 60% reduction in red mud
- 70% reduction in caustic soda consumption
- Majority of solid wastes recyclable
Application Case
This case is based on a typical samples of high-silica bauxite from Shanxi, China. The production line has a capacity of 450,000 tons of alumina per year.
In the table below, the far-left column is the compared items, the column in the middle shows the outcomes of the typical Bayer Process, and the far right column lists the IB2 tech-driven process
According to the results of the comparison, IB2 technology can significantly reduce raw material consumption. This advantage has resulted in a significant reduction in red mud discharge.
In addition, the by produced high-grade calcium silicate can become a key raw material in other industries.
