The Pedersen process is an alternative process for the production of alumina. Initially, bauxite ores, or other aluminous materials, are smelted with lime to produce pig iron and a slag of mainly calcium aluminate composition. The latter is subsequently leached in Na 2 CO 3 solutions to extract alumina hydrate.

Examples of calcination reactions. The conversion of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide is a common calcination process. Limestone calcination entails the breakdown of carbonate ores and the removal of carbon dioxide. Calcination of bauxite and gypsum requires the elimination of water vapour from crystallisation.
