The electrochemical extraction of aluminium from bauxite ore involves

Options

  1. Athe reaction of Al2O3{Al}_{2}{O}_{3} with coke (C)\left(C\right) at a temperature >2500°C> 2500 ° C.
  2. Bthe neutralization of aluminate solution by passing CO2{CO}_{2} gas to precipitate hydrated alumina \left({Al}_{2}{O}_{3} . 3{H}_{2}O\right)$.
  3. Cthe dissolution of Al2O3{Al}_{2}{O}_{3} in hot aqueous NaOHNaOH.
  4. Dthe electrolysis of Al2O3{Al}_{2}{O}_{3} mixed with Na3AlF6{Na}_{3}{AlF}_{6} to give AlAl and CO2{CO}_{2}.

Correct answer

B. the neutralization of aluminate solution by passing CO2{CO}_{2} gas to precipitate hydrated alumina \left({Al}_{2}{O}_{3} . 3{H}_{2}O\right)$.

Step-by-step solution

(A) The reduction of Al2O3{Al}_{2}{O}_{3} with coke (C)\left(C\right) at a temperature >2500°C> 2500 ° C is not carried out due to the formation of carbides.

(B) It is correct as neutralisation of aluminate solution is done by passing CO2{CO}_{2} gas to precipitate hydrated alumina.

(C) Reaction of powdered one is carried out with hot concentrated NaOHNaOH at 473K−523Kand35−36473K - 523K and 35 - 36 bar pressure.

(D)Aluminium In the metallurgy of aluminium, purified Al2O3 is mixed with Na3AlF6{Na}_{3}{AlF}_{6} or CaF2 which lowers the melting point of the mixture and brings conductivity.Thus electrolysis of the molten mass is carried out in an electrolytic cell using carbon electrodes. The oxygen liberated at anode reacts with the carbon of anode producing CO and CO2 and Al at the cathode.
