A process is described for removing dissolved silica from an alkaline solution containing sodium aluminate, e.g. a Bayer process solution. The process comprises contacting the alkaline solution with a slowly stirred bed of particles comprising coarse silica sand or a mixture of coarse silica sand and particles of sodalite, whereby the dissolved silica is precipitated out of solution to form a precipitation of desilication product dispersed in the solution and separating the desilication product solids from the alkaline solution to obtain a desilicated alkaline solution. |
