The high temperature dissolution behavior of diaspore concentrate was measured in concentrated NaOH-NaAl(OH)(4) solutions. The dissolution rate of Al was greatly found to be enhanced by increasing NaOH concentration and temperature while decreased with addition of Al(OH)(3). The concentration of Si as the main impurity constantly decreases with reaction time while the Fe is retained at a limited level. The generalized rate law for mineral dissolution and precipitation, proposed by Lasaga (Lasaga, A. C. Kinetic Theory in the Earth Science; Princeton University Press: Princeton, NJ, USA, 1998), was applied to model the kinetic behavior of Al on the basis of K-sp(diaspore) and the activity coefficients of related species in the solution. The resulting kinetic model was capable of predicting the dissolution rate of Al in the Bayer liquor. The apparent activation energy of the dissolution reaction over the temperature range from 473.2 to 543.2 K was estimated at 83 kj.mol(-1).
