The Sandy Desilication Product Process Concept | JOM
Reactive silica is the most detrimental impurity in bauxite. When bauxite is contacted with Bayer liquor, reactive silica dissolves and then precipitates as a sodium aluminum silicate known as the desilication product (DSP), which is discarded along with the bauxite residue and maintained in long-term storage facilities. DSP recycling using …

Unlike its complex origins, the recycling of aluminum requires comparatively less processing; aluminum is broken down into shredded scrap, processed in a decoating kiln to remove any coatings or lacquers, and then melted and cast into ingots, ready for reuse. Conclusion. The journey from bauxite ore to aluminum is complex.
