The invention discloses a method for harmlessly treating aluminum ash and preparing sandy 
alumina. The method disclosed by the invention mainly comprises the following main steps of remelting, alkaline washing, 
drying and 
sintering, dissolving out, filtrating and purifying, carbon component 
decomposition, and 
roasting, and is specifically implemented by taking aluminum ash produced in the processes of aluminum electrolytic 
smelting and coarse aluminum refining as a 
raw material through the process post-treatment steps of recovering metallic 
aluminium, carrying out alkaline wash for removing impurities, 
sintering sodium carbonate, dissolving out sintered clinker, carrying out deep impurities removal on a 
sodium aluminate solution, separating and washing carbon components and aluminum 
hydroxide, 
roasting aluminum 
hydroxide, evaporating carbon component 
mother liquor, and the like, so that a sandy 
alumina product is obtained. 
Fluorine in aluminum ash, after being discharged in 
silicon fluoride form, is absorbed by using an 
aqueous solution. The method disclosed by the invention realizes the harmless treatment of aluminum ash, the method is simple in process and low in production cost, and the environmental 
pollution and the resource wastes caused by the aluminum ash are avoided.
