Abstract
The presence of organics in Bayer liquor affects to some extent all the operating steps of the process. Organics in general and in particular, the humates, reduce liquor productivity and degrade hydrate and alumina quality (1, 2, and 3). There are many processes to remove or destroy organics from the liquor (4) but none offers a complete and specific solution to each Bayer plant.
