AB  - Removal of some impurities from Bayer liquor, such as zinc compounds, allows obtaining alumina with low content of impurities incorporated in the crystalline structure. Impurities in alumina influence the quality of products obtained from alumina during electrolysis. In this research, the purification method presented in our previous paper was used for the purification of Bayer liquor, from which alumina was produced [1]. Crystallization of Bayer liquor was conducted at 52 °C during 24 h, whereas aluminium hydroxide with specific structural properties was used as the seed. The crystallization product (aluminium hydroxide) was calcined at 950 °C for 2 h with the heating rate of 5 °C min–1. The obtained alumina (Alumina I) is compared with alumina obtained without Bayer liquor purification (alumina from bauxite refinery „Alumina“ l.t.d., Zvornik, B&H – Alumina II). Zinc content is determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Structural and morphological properties are characterized by XRD, FT‐IR, N2‐physisorption, and particle size analyzer. Zinc content as ZnO in the initial and purified Bayer liquor was 0.0494 g dm–3 and 0.0057 g dm–3, respectively. Alumina from bauxite refinery contains 0.0260% ZnO, whereas the zinc content in alumina obtained after Bayer liquor purification was 0.016% ZnO. XRD analysis (Figure 1) showed that crystal structure is not destroyed and characteristic lines for both samples are at a 2Theta angle: 34.2, 37.2, 40.7, and 49.8. Bands characteristic for γ‐Al2O3 and α‐Al2O3 in pseudoboehmite structure can be observed at low wavenumbers in the obtained FT‐IR spectra [2]. Specific surface area and average pore diameter are shown in Table 1. These values are similar for both alumina samples.

AB  - The presence of Zn compounds in alumina reduces the current efficiency during electrolysis and quality of obtained metal. The known methods for Zn compounds removal that involves the use of different chemical agents (e.g. sulphide) are uneconomical and not environmentally friendly. In this research, aluminium-hydroxide with specific structural properties (AHSSP) was used as a crystallization agent during purification of Bayer liquor. The specific structural properties of the used aluminium-hydroxide are related with a small particle size (<8μm), small specific surface area (≈3 m2/g), and large pore diameter (≈1μm). Mechanism of Zn removal is based on crystallization phenomenon of aluminium-hydroxide from Bayer liquor where the AHSSP presents crystallization agent (seed). The crystallization process is conducted to a certain Na2O/Al2O3 ratio, which corresponds to a satisfactory aluminium concentration in Bayer liquor. The crystallization process was conducted in laboratory crystallization vessels (2 dm3) equipped with a heater and stirrer. The crystallization temperature was 50±1°C and the concentration of aluminium-hydroxide as crystallization agent (seed) was 15, 20 and 30g/l. The concentration of Al, Na, and Zn in Bayer liquor and solid crystallization product (aluminium hydroxide as seed and aluminium hydroxide from Bayer liquor) was analysed by using ICP-OES (Specto Genesis) and AAS (Shimadzu AA7000). The particle size of the obtained solid crystallization product was analysed by Cilas 1090, laser particle size analyser. The specific surface area was determined by using Gemini VII, whereas the pore structure was analysed by using Mercury intrusion porosimetry (Carlo Erba Porosimeter 2000). The obtained results show that the per cent of removed Zn compounds was above 80 for 2h, whereas Al concentration decreased slightly less than 20% for the same time. Structural analysis is shown, that particle size and pore diameter were increased, whereas the specific surface area was decreased. For this reason, the possibility of using the aluminium-hydroxide as a product of this process, without structural modification, is maximally two times. Keywords: Zn-compounds, crystallization, alumina, and structural properties.

AB  - For more than three decades 4A zeolite has been an irreplaceable ingredient of powder
detergents, but there is still striving to it’s improvement in order to meet the ever more stringent
market and environmental demands.Alumina d.o.o., as one of the world-renowned producers of
this zeolite, tends to meet these requirements, and one of the latest examples is the work on the
production of zeolite 4A with increased adsorption of surface active substances, and the testing of
parameters for the synthesis of such a zeolite as well as its characterization is the subject of this
paper. The zeolite synthesis were performed to examine the effect of the Na2O concentration in
the reaction system, as well as the crystallization time on thecharacteristics of detergent zeolite,
namely:the adsorption of dibutylphthalate (DBP), the mean particle diameter, and the ion
exchange capacity. The additional characterization of the samples was performed by XRD and
FTIR instrumental methods.
It’s shown that the conditions examined have a significant effect on the characteristics of the
synthesized powders. In general, at all crystallization times, adsorption of DBP, as well as the
mean diameter, increases with the increase in Na2O concentration, while the ion exchange
capacity decreases,and it is very important to find the right conditions in which all the parameters
will be satisfactory.The influence of the crystallization time is not significantly pronounced when
adsorption is concerned, but it is on the other characteristics of zeolite.XRD diffractograms and
FT-IR spectroscopy showed the effect of reaction conditions on the crystallinity of the synthesized
powders, and the relationship between the crystallinity and other characteristics of 4A zeolite.

Kompanija Alumina d.o.o. kao jedan od svetski priznatih proizvođača ovog zeolita teži ispunjavanju tih zahteva. Predmet ovog rada je upravo ispitivanje parametara za sintezu takvog zeolita kao i njegova karakterizacija. Sinteze zeolita izvođene su tako da se ispita uticaj koncentracije Na2O u reakcionom sistemu, kao i vremena kristalizacije na karakteristike deterdžentskog zeolita, i to adsorpciju dibutilftalata (DBP), srednji prečnik čestice (Ds50) i jonoizmenjivački kappacitet (JIK).Dodatna karakterizacija uzoraka izvršena je XRD i FTIR instrumentalnim metodama. Pokazalo se da ispitivani uslovi imaju značajan uticaj na karakteristike sintetisanih prahova. Generalno, pri svim vremenima kristalizacije, adsorpcija DBP raste sa porastom koncentracije Na2O, kao i srednji prečnik, dok JIK opada, te je jako bitno pronaći uslove u kojima će svi parametri biti zadovoljavajući. Uticaj vremena nije značajno izražen kada je adsorpcija u pitanju, ali jeste na ostale karakteristike zeolita.
