Abstract: Dealkalization of sintering process red mud was made by lime(CaO) as de-alkali agent.Reaction temperature,reaction time,addition dosage of de-alkali agent,and liquid-solid ratio on the alkali removal effects,such as dissolution rates of potassium and sodium in the red mud were studied and dealkalization mechanism of lime process was analyzed.Results showed that the rise of temperature,the elongation of reaction time,the augment of lime dosage,and the increase of liquid-solid ratio were all able to improve the dealkalization effect of red mud,especially,the reaction time and lime dosage.Dealkalization mechanism of sintering process red mud by adding CaO was that two Na+ were replaced by one Ca2+ in the part of sodalite(Na8Al6Si6O24CO3)to produce a more insoluble calcium nepheline[Na6CaAl6Si6(CO3)O24·2H2O].
