Abstract:Processing 4.1 to 4.2 tons of nepheline concentrate mixed with limestone produces 1 t of alumina, 0.8 t of sodium carbonate, 0.3 t of potash, and 10 tons of cement. The costs of producing these from nepheline are significantly lower than the costs of individual production from conventional raw materials by conventional technology. Unlike the traditional ammonia-based method, the nepheline technology of producing soda ash is environmentally friendly and does not require costly sludge fields. Using belite sludge… Show more
