Bayer Process—Water and Energy Balance | SpringerLink
When discussing the use of water in an alumina refinery, it is critical to understand where the battery limits of the process are. This point is illustrated in Fig. 9.2 where the Bayer process is highlighted. The design and operation of a refinery is contingent on its access to local water sources and a good understanding of the local rainfall patterns.
