The powder produced treated then with 6% sodium carbonate solution using different temperature (60-100°C) for fifteen minutes. After filtration, the produced sodium alurninate solution was reacted with 2% of calcium hydroxide at 98 for thirty minutes. The filtrate was carbonated with pur(f led CO gas at 70°C for different times (30- and different flow rates (20-80 cm’/min). Alumina was precipitated as hydrate, then washed with water, dried at 110°C, and calcined at 1200°C. The produced a AL was ident?fied by X-ray diffraction.
