Abstract: There exists valuable alumina in the industrial solid waste coal gangue which can become treasure when it substitutesfor bauxite for alumina extraction. However, the kaolin form of aluminum-silicon in the coal gangue has low activity, which has to be broken in high temperatures to change the alumina into soluble calcium aluminate in sodium carbonate solution. In order to achieve the maximal leaching rate of alumina in the coal gangue with lime sinter process, the experimental conditions for activation and extraction of coal gangue are optimized with orthogonal experiments respectively. The experimental results show that in the process of alumina extraction in coal gangue by the lime sinter process, the optimal alumina leaching efficiency can be as much as 89.5%. Therefore, the optimized experimental condition may provide a reference for industrial tests.

Key words: coal gangue, alumina, lime sinter process, leaching efficiency, calcium aluminate, waste recovery
