Zusammenfassung:The invention described herein relates to a method for recovering aluminum from fly ash comprising mixing the fly ash with calcium sulfate or a mixture of calcium sulfate with a material selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, or magnesium carbonate, sintering the resultant mixture at a temperature which will convert the fly ash to a crystalline structure, and then leaching the aluminum from the sintered mass with an aqueous inorganic acid.
