The invention concerns a method for processing alumina monohydrate by means of a sodium attack at high temperature characterised in that it consists of the following successive steps: a) disintegrating at more than 200 DEG C the bauxite with a concentrated solution of more than 160 g Na20/litre of which the weight ratio ranges between 0.45 and 0.75, during a contact time sufficient for solubilising the alumina monohydrate and for reaching a weight ratio ranging between 1.10 and 1.20; b) cooling the suspension and introducing alumina trihydrate in said suspension, to less than 200 DEG C, so as to obtain a weight ratio of the aluminate solution ranging between 1.20 and 1.30; c) a first dilution for obtaining a concentration ranging between 160 and 175 g Na20/litre; d) decanting so as to separate from the insoluble residual matter a sodium aluminate solution of which the weight ratio ranges between 1.20 and 1.30; e) filtering the aluminate solution; f) complementary dilution before or during decomposition; g) recycling, after separating the alumina trihydrate by filtration, the decomposed solution which, after concentration, is used again as attack solution at the start of the process with a concentration higher than 160 g Na20/litre.

Procédé de traitement de bauxite à base de monohydrate d'alumine par attaque sodique et à haute température caractérisé par la succession d'opérations suivantes: a) attaque à plus de 200 °C de la bauxite avec une liqueur concentrée à plus de 160 g Na2O/litre et dont le rapport pondéral Rp est compris entre 0,45 et 0,75, pendant un temps de contact suffisant pour solubiliser le monohydrate d'alumine et atteindre un Rp compris entre 1,10 et 1,20; b) refroidissement de la suspension et introduction de trihydrate d'alumine dans ladite suspension, à moins de 200 °C, pour obtenir un Rp de la liqueur d'aluminate compris entre 1,20 et 1,30; c) première dilution permettant d'obtenir une concentration comprise entre 160 et 175 g Na2O/litre; d) décantation pour séparer du résidu insoluble une liqueur d'aluminate de sodium dont le Rp doit être compris entre 1,20 et 1,30; e) filtration de la liqueur d'aluminate; f) dilution complémentaire avant ou au cours de la décomposition; (g) recyclage, après séparation du trihydrate d'alumine par filtration, de la liqueur décomposée qui, après concentration, est réutilisée comme liqueur d'attaque en tête du procédé avec une concentration supérieure à 160 g Na2O/l.
