A process of recovering alumina from a pregnant Bayer process liquor by crystallisation after adding to the liquor a crystallisation modifier characterised in that the crystallisation modifier comprises: (a) a polyalkoxylated non-ionic surfactant, (b) a surfactant, or precursor thereof, which is not a polyalkoxylated non-ionic surfactant and (c) water. In a further aspect of the invention the composition may contain water but preferably contains substantially no water. Preferred compositions for the crystallisation modifier for use in this process contain a surfactant blend which consists essentially only of the polyalkoxylated non-ionic surfactant (a) and the surfactant (b) or precursor thereof. The process consistently gives excellent improvement in crystal size without decreased yield. Specifically the process results in a reduction in the percentage of undersized crystals.
