unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

This study does not represent the general ecology of aoudad. Palo Duro Canyon, where this study took place is extremely limited in suitable terrain.

To add to the distribution, I have personally sampled and identified Promenetus umbilicatellus that were located in a spawning channel in British Columbia, Canada (coordinates: 52.335090, -121.402790). This was for a graduate research project and this species was present in the fall and the spring.

Naomi Regan 311. (photo credit:Courtesy)
A best-selling American-Israeli author said Monday there is a campaign being waged to silence her, a day after she was found guilty by a Jerusalem Court of plagiarism.Naomi Ragen, a New York native and a Jerusalem Post columnist accused the plaintiff, author Sarah Shapiro of "working out of a desire to silence my criticism of the Haredi community's treatment of women, which I have done for years.""This is a sad day for Israeli society and Israeli authors in particular, who will have to deal with the language of abrasive lawsuits from people looking to suppress freedom of expression and creativity in Israel."She said she and her lawyer are still reading over the verdict and will decide whether to appeal when they are finished.Ragen said the NIS 1 million lawsuit "deals with similarities in a few small pieces of sentences that are in my book and that of the plaintiff. In regards to the verdict, I am in shock and pain from the distortion of justice that was done."In the Jerusalem District Court's 92- page ruling, the judge describes what led to Shapiro's lawsuit against Ragen, who she said plagiarized from her first book Growing With My Children: A Jewish Mother's Diary for her best-selling novel Sotah.The 1990 book is based on Shapiro's diary from 1986-1989, when she was a young, inexperienced haredi mother exhausted by the burdens of motherhood.Both Shapiro's book and Sotah describe the fears and anger of an ultra- Orthodox woman who has recently given birth and hopes the illness and nausea she feels is the result of a virus, and not a new pregnancy.The court found that in Ragen's book there was "a resemblance in the subjects and motifs, resemblances in language and terminology, similarity and resemblance in dialogue, at times word for word, and cumulative violations."Shapiro said, according to the court, that her experiences, and by extension ultra-Orthodox life, were painted in a negative light in Ragen's book.In 1990, Ragen and Shapiro were introduced by the head of Targum Press, who gave Ragen a copy of her book.According to the court, the two then met at Ragen's house in Jerusalem, where Ragen told Shapiro she enjoyed the book and encouraged her to keep writing.The court ruling says that a few years later Shapiro began hearing rumors that Ragen had copied a passage from her book and she bought Sotah at a secondhand book store, where she said she was shocked to see her words appearing on the pages, including words she had exchanged during a personal conversation with Ragen. The court said Ragen denied all wrongdoing, which the plaintiff said also came as a shock."In downtown Jerusalem, I found a copy of Sotah in a rack of best-sellers right by the entrance and started leafing through the pages. In just moments, to my shock, I started finding words that I recognized... With a pounding heart I rushed home and immediately dialed Ms. Ragen's number. I told her what I had found and she said she didn't know what I was talking about," the ruling quotes Shapiro as saying.In an interview with the Post in 2007, Ragen said "that woman has been hounding me for 13 years because two pages of my book resembled two pages in hers."Sunday's court ruling includes quotes from a passage in Shapiro's work where she seeks counseling with her rabbi, and compares it to a passage in Sotah where the protagonist reaches out to her husband.

Presley, Adams debate details of coal project consumer impact
Of the three incumbents RUNNING for re-election to the Mississippi Public Service Commission — which regulates public electric, gas, telecommunications, water and sewer utilities — only one faces a serious challenger.
Northern District Commissioner and Democrat Brandon Presley is opposed by Republican Boyce Adams. Both have raised significant campaign funds — Presley with $150,000 and Adams with $142,000. Both candidates view Mississippi Power Company's multi-billion dollar clean coal plant under construction in Kemper County as a central issue of the race.

Meet, Invisible Boyfriend!!
USA Today reports:
A new service launched Tuesday called Invisible Boyfriend (or Invisible Girlfriend). For a monthly fee of $24.99, the online beta platform allows users to select a partner's photo, name, interests and a story about how you two met. Then, over the course of the next four weeks, the fake boyfriend or girlfriend will send 100 text messages, 10 voicemails and one postcard.
"We help people avoid the societal stigma of being single by giving them credible, social proof they're in a relationship," the company says on their websites.
Invisible Boyfriend and Invisible Girlfriend use real humans, not robots, to send the text messages, co-founder Matthew Homann told USA TODAY Network.
"The text messages feel real and have context. In an early start, we thought we could do it with robots, but it wasn't convincing enough to fool mom and dad and even yourself," Homann said.

You may remember coming to the office and you may remember a little bit when you get here, but what my patients tell me day in and day out is that they don't really remember anything. They have little to no memory of the appointment itself. They […]

4 Seniors: Heat Takes a Toll on Seniors
Experts Encourage Families to Keep a Close Eye on Older Loved Ones During Periods of High Heat. Nobody likes extreme and prolonged heat, but such conditions can be very dangerous and potentially deadly for seniors. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States. On average, excessive heat claims more lives each year than tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and lightning combined www.noaawatch.gov/themes/heat.php. "The elderly are often the most vulnerable to […]

A Royal New Zealand Air Force Boeing 757 was hit by lightning and had to return to Whenuapai for an emergency landing this morning.
The plane landed safely around 9.35am and all 26 people on board were uninjured.
A fire communications spokesman said the plane had to circle above the runway as a thunderstorm in the area prevented it from landing.
Air Force spokesman Squadron Leader Kavae Tamariki said there was no damage to the aircraft but three fire trucks were called to the scene as a precaution.
Tamariki said the plane had just taken off from Auckland and was heading to Wellington on a routine flight with 19 passengers and seven crew on board when it was hit by lightning.
"There was no damage and no injuries, but it made a precautionary return."
Engineers were carrying out an inspection on the aircraft this morning.
This was not the first time an Air Force plane had been struck by lightning. Last year an Orion returning from Canada was struck on the nose, with the jolt going right through the plane.
It was described by those on the plane as a "big bang" which caused minor damage and some of the systems to go down, though the planes were built to withstand such things, he said.
The RNZAF has two ex-commercial Boeing 757s.
Configured for both cargo and passengers, they can carry between 186 and 279 passengers.
The Defence Force uses them extensively to service overseas forces as well as for political and diplomatic work.
Last week Prime Minister John Key used one for his India trip and next week Foreign Minister Murray McCully will tour the South Pacific in one.

Thank you for posting this very revealing poem that is so filled with honest TRUTH.
Religion and man's self-righteousness is the deception of Satan, and the absence of a real knowledge of God births all the corruption there is in our world. I hope everyone gets to read your poem!
Bob Gotti
Stealth Movement
Evil men filled by Satan himself, are on earth as Satan's stealth,
Thought by many as good for all, they move to see nations fall,
Introducing ways indifferent to, God who rules over me and you,
Deceiving the very hearts man, as they fulfill a much darker plan.
Their darker ways are obscured, to many who know not our Lord,
Many of these ways they select, could even deceive God's elect,
This, if such a thing was possible, as these leaders begin to rule,
While veiling a much darker side, in the policies they tend to hide.
A platform is being set, my friend, for indeed a much darker end,
As the things of God are set aside, Truths of God, will be denied,
To all those who, in God believe, by these men who now deceive,
Sly masters of political disguise, duping men, thought to be wise,
They haven't a fear of The Lord, as His moral decrees go ignored,
Towards a time of total tolerance, cloaked in man's righteousness,
Tolerating all, except two entities, the nation Israel and Christianity,
Striving to pacify God's enemies; lifting to God only blasphemies.
They go openly to all mankind, with dark agendas cloaked behind,
Promises that they can't produce, in policies that are political ruse,
Upon their steadfast declaration, they desire to rebuild this Nation,
Purposing for all National health, is only Satan operating in stealth.

Miles from nowhere and driving solo, Wellington TV producer Jeanie Davison looks for the Africa beyond the safety and ease of organised tourism.
As the first hint of daylight gives scale and shape to the mountains looming ahead, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
I am driving alone through a rocky wasteland; a dot in the vast emptiness of the Namib Desert. I flick on the radio for comfort, but I'm beyond the reach of any transmitter.
So I drive with only the loose gravel grating the underside of the car as the sun erupts over the mountain ridge, sending shafts of light on to the hazy desert floor.
Determined to explore "the real Africa", I've eschewed the usual guided tour. I'm four days into a self-drive trip through southern Africa, starting in Cape Town, heading north through Namibia, east into Zambia and down through Botswana, arriving in Johannesburg 21 days later.
Hiring a four-wheel-drive is well beyond my budget, so I've embarked on this 10,000-kilometre journey in a humble Nissan Tiida more suited to the school run than a journey through wild, untamed country.
But it has a spare tyre and a jack, and with this reassurance I set off into the vast expanse of Africa.
For the first two days I power northwards on tarmac roads through the mannered landscape of the Western Cape - lush green hills dotted with whitewashed Cape Dutch homesteads presiding over brimming vineyards.
Crossing into Namibia, these picture-postcard vistas give way to arid desert, encircled by rugged chocolate-brown mountains on a road that stretches, runway-straight, towards the shimmering horizon.
It's time to see if the Nissan can handle gravel. I head west, cross-country, bumping along at 25kmh over loose stones, dust billowing behind me.
The corrugations in the track get steadily worse, and before long I'm juddering like a pneumatic drill. The locals call this "the African massage".
It's a gruelling drive - the Nissan repeatedly goes into little skids, and I have to stay fiercely alert to catch and correct them. Other cars are few, but when they do appear, they leave huge dust-clouds in their wake.
I'm heading for Sossusvlei, a swathe of colossal, constantly shifting sand dunes stretching 650km along the coast and 130km inland. Even after six hours of bone-shattering driving, the blazing orange dunes don't disappoint.
Glad to be out of the car, I head into the searing desert heat to climb one - partly for the view from the top, but also to quench a sudden desire to conquer a piece of this landscape that has relentlessly underlined my insignificance.
At the top, dunes stretch in every direction. I feel as small as I did at the bottom.
It's two days' drive north to Etosha, Namibia's premier safari park that covers 22,000 square kilometres. When the gates open at sunrise, I spot several Land- Rovers packed with eager, babbling tourists brandishing telephoto lenses. I drive off in the opposite direction.
I've been warned that you have to be patient when spotting wildlife, so I settle back in the driving seat. But within minutes, I round a bend and there, just metres away, is a lone giraffe, chomping leaves on an acacia tree.
The animals keep coming - zebra, kudu, ostrich, wildebeest, rhino, hyena - my camera can't keep up.
Suddenly, a lone elephant appears from nowhere, barely a metre from my bonnet.
I quickly contemplate my next move. Apparently, elephants will charge if they feel threatened and I'm way too close for comfort. But if I accelerate away, the engine noise might freak him out.
Then again - as the huge beast lumbers towards me - sitting tight and sweating it out doesn't feel like a great idea either.
For a second, I long to see a friendly tour bus crammed with gawking tourists. But then the elephant wanders off, leaving me quivering with adrenaline.
Next day, I'm driving east along the Caprivi Strip towards Zambia. The road runs right along the border with Angola and I'm a little anxious - until recently, tourists could only travel along it as part of an armed convoy due to civil unrest in the region.
But a couple of nice AK47-wielding Namibian policemen assure me I'm perfectly safe, and tell me the only real hazard is elephants crossing the road (I smile inwardly, I've tackled that danger already!).
The Zambian border is a mish-mash of ramshackle caravans with no obvious signs of officialdom or formality. I'm ushered by various un-uniformed people from one to the next, handing over a dubious selection of "taxes and levies" to get me and my vehicle over the border.
I'm convinced half the money is being pocketed, but I'm hardly in a position to challenge. With relief - and a significantly lighter wallet - I cross a bridge over the Zambezi into Zambia and head for one of the world's greatest natural wonders.
The Victoria Falls are satisfyingly breathtaking, cascading over a 108-metre rocky shelf into a churning chasm below. As I take in the spectacle from a precarious path on the opposite side of the gorge, I'm quickly drenched by spray - and only then notice some entrepreneurial locals behind me touting raincoats and umbrellas. The roar of the falls is deafening - no wonder they're known as "The Smoke That Thunders".
A pontoon ride back across the Zambezi takes me and my car into Botswana, and a whole new challenge - potholes. The 300km route between the border and the next village is ostensibly tarred, but barely 10 minutes into it I'm cursing. There are craters all over the road, as though some giant elephant has stamped its way along leaving metre-deep chasms in its path.
On the shimmering tarmac, the holes are impossible to spot until you're braking hard on the edge of them - at which point it's too late. Steering the poor old Nissan round - or more often into - the potholes, I zig-zag precariously for five hours.
When the road finally comes good, I take in my surroundings. I'm crossing another of the world's great deserts - the Kalahari. Unlike the Namib, this one is dotted with low-lying vegetation stretching across the flattest land I've ever seen.
The endless roads are punctuated with occasional checkpoints - police, military and veterinary. The latter are apparently designed to curb the spread of foot and mouth from livestock to wildlife and involve trundling the car through a saline dip under the watchful eye of uniformed officials.
Apart from this, the desert is a vast expanse of nothingness, and driving through it feels like I'm the last person left on Earth.
Three weeks after leaving Cape Town, I finally head back into South Africa on the home straight to Johannesburg. I'm back in civilisation again, and it feels shockingly surreal. There are traffic lights and pavements for a start, and concrete buildings, neon signs, noise.
Within minutes, I'm hankering to be in the wilderness again.

The shocking thing about talking to a room full of women who have been cheated on is how wonderful they all are. It doesn't seem to matter whether they are beautiful, clever, funny, rich, successful, skinny, or innately suspicious of men, women get cheated on. They have done since the beginning of time, and they always will. It's not just us – men get cheated on, too. That's right, you may think men are scoundrels, but according to the experts, women are just as bad.

The truth about cheating
Relationship experts say affairs are the greatest threat to marriages. Statistics say that many of us are doing it, and most are getting away with it. We say we don't like it one little bit. We found out what the experts – and some Aquarius readers – thought on the subject
- Image Credit: Getty Images
- Aamnah says, "Healing is about breaking down the walls we have put up to protect ourselves."
No matter who is doing the cheating, affairs are destructive – to relationships and to individuals. They cut through to the core of a couple, rip out their stability and leave them hollow. There's not just the broken trust to deal with, but the insult, the hurt, the bereavement for the relationship you had (or thought you had). The shame, the resentment, the anger... the list goes on.
Some relationships shatter on impact. Others soldier on, trying to put it behind them, only to wake up one morning years down the line and realise that there is nothing left between them. Then there are those who find their way back to each other – whose affairs bring them closer together. Can this be possible? According to the experts, yes it can.
Whatever effect an affair has, there is no escaping the fact that it forces you to hold a magnifying glass up to your relationship and a mirror up to yourself and to ask some deep, meaningful questions. We spent an evening at Fazaris, the Address Downtown, and had discussion, drinks and delicious nibbles with some Aquarius readers to talk about some of those questions.
We were joined by some experts: psychotherapist Aamnah Husein and relationships coaches Maria Chatila and Evelyn Heffermehl. And here is what we found...
Is it more common here?
"People in Dubai are more prone to cheating. You're away from friends, family and close social groups. Everyone acts like they are on holiday all the time."
Aamnah says, "Cheating happens everywhere. But here, many people are far from close social networks, which can make them feel anonymous and like they can get away with it. They may feel more removed from the implications and repercussions of cheating. Also, people travel a lot for work, which poses new challenges to relationships – especially if underlying problems exist and are not being addressed."
Do men cheat more than women?
"It seems like men cheat on women a lot more than women cheat on men. Why is that? Why do they do it?"
Maria says, "Actually, both sexes cheat. Although men seem to cheat more, this could be just that they get caught more than women, so we hear about it more. As a relationship coach, what I've seen is a lot of women embracing emotional affairs because they feel lonely. Perhaps with a guy at work who you get on with, or an old friend or boyfriend who you have rekindled a friendship with on Facebook. Often, women don't admit that it's an emotional affair – they may not even realise themselves. But it is a form of cheating and it is just as destructive to a relationship as a sexual affair."
I was cheated on, now I am a cheater. Can I change?
"I found out that my fiancé was cheating on me a few months before we were due to get married. Since then, I've been punishing men. I think all men – apart from my father and brother – are cheaters. So when I fell in love again, I cheated on my new partner so he couldn't do it to me first. I sabotage every relationship I get in to."
Maria says, "You're still dating the ghost of your past relationship. The relationship is dead and over, but the issues are still alive. Until you can forgive – and I'm not saying you should forget – it will continue to follow you. The fact that you have faith in your father and brother shows you still hold some hope for men, so this is about you learning to heal yourself to a point where you can move on. How do you heal from it? Give yourself a break. As women, we try to blame ourselves for things that hurt."
Is it possible to recover from an affair?
"I always said that if it happened to me, I would be out the door. Then it happened to me and I stayed. I question myself why, and question whether it means I am weak. But the truth is I stay because I love him." "I left my husband when I found out he had cheated. I still love him and he wants us to get back together, but I just can't get past it."
Evelyn says, "Remember that everything we go through in a relationship is an opportunity to become closer as a couple."
Aamnah says, "Healing is about breaking down the walls we have put up to protect ourselves. Can the relationship recover from that? Can you get the trust back? I think you can – and I think you can have a stronger bond. But it takes both sides to be compassionate and forgiving, and if you are able to empathise with each other during the forgiving process, you are bound to become closer as a result."
Maria says, "Ask yourself, 'What does our relationship need? What was the relationship like before the affair? What drove us to the affair? What is the relationship now? What does it need now?'"
Aamnah says, "Also, what do you need now for yourself? What do you need to see, to do, and to feel in order to recover?"
Is it my fault? Do I make it happen without knowing?
"When my husband cheated on me, I did that thing that many women do – I put myself down, blamed myself and lost confidence. I saw myself as a monster." "My first partner cheated on me and then, when I finally fell in love again, I found out that my new partner was actually married with a child and I was the mistress. Am I doing something wrong? Do I attract these types of men?"
Maria says, "Sometimes we think we are doing something right for ourselves, but actually we're just attracting the same experiences again and again. If you only seem to be attracting the same type of men, is there something that you're putting out there that attracts them? One of the ways we heal ourselves is with our behaviour. Do you have self-esteem issues? Sometimes we look for evidence of what we believe about ourselves. What do you believe about yourself?"
How do you get over it?
"It's all well and good to say we should put it behind us and move on, but how do you do that and mean it?"
Evelyn says, "Being hurt is one thing. Being the victim is another. The danger is in becoming identified as the victim, to yourself and to your husband. The real point is to try to understand what happened. To forgive yourself and your partner who cheated. You need to let the cheater speak out and allow them to put it to rest, otherwise neither of you can get past it. This is true whether you stay together or split."
How can I forgive him?
"My husband has had two affairs that I know of. I've decided to stay – for many
reasons. I think he has changed. He is a good man. I deal with the positive and negative consequences of my decision. The positives are that we still have our family and most of the time it is good. The negatives are that it is always going to be there and we can never have the relationship that we would have had. I can forget about it and move on, but I can't forgive him for bringing this into our lives, our marriage and our home."
Maria says, "If you've made the decision to stay and you want to rebuild that connection, a great exercise is to reminisce together. It's a good way to heal and it's a very successful way to start forgiving him – not the person he is now, but the person he was before he cheated. Understand that he had a need he was trying to fill. Speak to him to try to understand what was going on at that point to make him stray outside of your relationship. Stop looking at it as, 'Why did you do this to me?' And start looking at it as, 'What was happening between us to make you feel you needed to do this?'"
1. Trust your instincts. If you feel like your husband might be having an affair, there is a high chance he is.
2. An affair is usually a symptom of something else that is wrong in the relationship. If your partner has had an affair, instead of feeling like a victim, try to work out what it was your partner needed from the relationship that he wasn't getting. This need may have been what caused him to go elsewhere.
3. Many couples only seek professional help once an affair has happened. They feel like it is a dramatic enough reason to justify seeking professional help. A better approach would be to recognise that the relationship is in trouble, or that the lines of communication between you are becoming blocked, and to seek professional help – such as counselling or relationship coaching – before an affair actually happens.
"I don't want to leave my husband even though he has cheated on me. I love him and I know he loves me, but I can't seem to get over it either. I make harsh comments every chance I get, like I am punishing him by being loyal and forgiving. It hurts him and I want to stop it, because it is making us both unhappy. But I can't."
Maria says, "The past still lives in your relationship and its presence is weighing it down. The harsh comments that you make are not unusual in relationships, but they are very toxic and with time can destroy the marriage. I suggest you and your husband sit down and acknowledge the hurt together. How was he hurt? How were you hurt? How was the relationship hurt? It is important to remember that the relationship is a higher system that
you two are a part of and that you both need to increase your positivity so your relationship can thrive."
"I was cheated on, now I am the cheater. When I'm in relationships, I cheat. When I'm single, I pursue married men. I hate it that I am doing to others what broke my heart, but I can't seem to stop it. I want to move on and have a trusting relationship."
Aamnah says, "Being cheated on can be very painful and leave scars. Perhaps you need to revisit that time when you were cheated on – do you understand what happened and why? Have you forgiven? This doesn't mean condoning the behaviour, but letting go of it. What are the beliefs (about yourself, men, relationships,) that you have walked away with? With your actions, you are reaffirming these beliefs and protecting yourself by being the cheater in order to stop it happening to you again. But that one experience does not have to define you – you still believe in love and trust. So make yourself whole and love to trust yourself again. When you feel strong inside, you might not feel so scared to be vulnerable."

Doug Ford fires back at councillors: 'Have you ever smoked marijuana?'
Doug Ford angrily defended his brother Rob Ford in a dramatic moment Wednesday at city council.
In one the most dramatic moments of Wednesday's council meeting in Toronto, Councillor Doug Ford stood up and vigorously defended his brother, Mayor Rob Ford, for his admitted drug use.
After Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong had questioned the mayor about his crack cocaine use, the mayor's brother shot back at the man who was presenting a motion to have the mayor take a leave of absence.
Looking around at other councillors, Doug Ford shouted: "None of you have done anything wrong, ever. Never."
Then, peering directly at Minnan-Wong, Doug Ford asked point blank: "Have you ever smoked marijuana? Have you ever smoked marijuana? Have you ever smoked marijuana?"
As a murmur went through the chambers, Ford kept up his attack: "Hold it," and then repeated the question.
"Yes or no. Have you smoked marijuana?"
When Minnan-Wong didn't reply, Ford pointed at him, and said, "I guess the answer is yes."
The speaker, Frances Nunziata, tried to interject, but Ford wasn't to be silenced.
Ford asked all councillors who had ever smoked marijuana to stand up, and he suggested that everyone would be standing if they made this admission.
"Don't come across as though you're holier than thou because you're not," Ford said. "Everyone should be careful about throwing rocks in a glass house."
Soon after, Nunziata called a break to bring calm back to the chamber.

US 4464347 A Abstract In accordance with the invention, spent liquor from an alumina precipitation stage is contacted with an extraction fluid to separate the mixture into a first layer comprising the extraction fluid and at least a portion of the caustic from the spent liquor and a second layer which comprises the remainder of the spent liquor. The spent liquor may then be subjected to a further precipitation to recover further alumina. The spent liquor remaining may be further treated in subsequent extraction steps to concentrate and dispose of undesirable impurities remaining.
Claims(7) 1. An improved process for the recovery of alumina from ore containing aluminum compounds which previously has been subject to a Bayer type caustic digest wherein sulfate and fluoride impurities in the ore normally digested with the alumina and recycled back to the digestor in the spent liquor may be selectively removed comprising:
(a) contacting spent liquor from an alumina precipitation stage with ethyl alcohol to separate the mixture into a first layer comprising the ethyl alcohol and at least a portion of the caustic from the spent liquor and a second layer which comprises the remainder of the spent liquor; (b) subjecting said second layer to a second precipitation to remove further alumina values; (c) treating at least a portion of the spent liquor from said second precipitation to remove said sulfate and fluoride impurities said treating including contacting said portion of spent liquor from said second precipitation with ethyl alcohol; and (d) recycling said purified spent liquor back to said ore digestion. 2. The process of claim 1 wherein said ethyl alcohol used to treat said spent liquor from said second precipitation comprises ethyl alcohol recovered from separating the caustic in said first layer from said ethyl alcohol initially used to treat spent liquor from the first precipitation.
3. The process of claim 1 wherein said further treatment of spent liquor with ethyl alcohol results in the formation of a sodium aluminate sludge which is separated from the remaining spent liquor solution.
4. The process of claim 3 wherein said solution also containing sodium carbonate and, after separation from said sodium aluminate sludge, is cooled to form a sodium carbonate precipitate which is then removed from said solution.
5. The process of claim 4 wherein said solution, after removal of said sodium carbonate precipitate, is evaporated to form a precipitate comprising sodium fluoride and sodium sulfate.
6. The process of claim 5 wherein said solution, after precipitation of said sodium fluoride and sodium sulfate, is separated from said salts and recycled back to the digestion of ore.
7. The process of claim 6 wherein said solution is recombined with said sodium carbonate prior to recycling back to the digestion of ore.
Description This invention relates to refining of ore containing aluminum compounds. More particularly, this invention relates to improving the yield in a Bayer process by processing of the spent liquor. Ores containing aluminum compounds, more particularly bauxite type ores, are conventionally digested in caustic by the well-known Bayer Process to form a solution of sodium aluminate and sodium hydroxide. The solid bauxite residue (red mud) is then separated from the solution by clarification and, after washing to remove as much caustic content as economically feasible, is discarded. Alumina is recovered by precipitation from this solution by first cooling the solution to supersaturation and then seeding with aluminum trihydroxide. The spent mother liquor is then recycled back to the digester, after an evaporation step, for reuse of the caustic therein and to preserve the alumina values remaining in the spent liquor after precipitation. Unfortunately, however, such ores may contain or form many other soluble compounds such as sulfates, fluorides and carbonates which, due to their solubility, are not removed in the clarification step. These unwanted impurities can build up in concentration with repeated recycling of the spent liquor which can retard the recovery of alumina from solution, deposit scale on equipment (particularly heaters), reduce evaporation efficiencies, increase the required plant size (for given throughput) and operating costs due to the circulating liquor loads and increase the impurity level in the product. It would, therefore, be desirable to efficiently separate out such impurities from the Bayer liquor. The yield of alumina in the precipitation step is further influenced by the ratio of alumina to caustic in the liquor. As the caustic level rises, due to depletion of alumina by precipitation, further precipitation of alumina is inhibited. This is sometimes overcome by neutralization of the sodium hydroxide, e.g. with sodium bicarbonate. However, this requires further reprocessing of the neutralized liquor to recover the soda for reuse in the digester. If the caustic in the spent liquor could be selectively removed after the initial precipitation of alumina, the spent liquor stream could be reseeded and further alumina values could be precipitated from the spent liquor. It is, therefore, an object of the invention to provide a treatment system for separating caustic from sodium aluminate. It is another object of the invention to provide a system for treatment of spent liquor from a precipitation stage to remove caustic. It is a further object of the invention to provide a system for the removal caustic from spent liquor which will raise the alumina/caustic ratio sufficiently to permit a second precipitation of alumina from the treated spent liquor. It is yet another object of the invention to provide a system wherein impurities introduced into the digestion and precipitation system can be removed. It is a still further object of the invention to provide a system for treating spent liquor to remove such impurities without contaminating the desired precipitate. These and other objects of the invention will become apparent from reading the description of the invention and the accompanying drawings. In accordance with the invention, spent liquor from an alumina precipitation stage is contacted with an extraction fluid to separate the mixture into a first layer comprising the extraction fluid and at least a portion of the caustic from the spent liquor and a second layer which comprises the remainder of the spent liquor. The spent liquor may then be subjected to a further precipitation to recover further alumina. The spent liquor remaining may be further treated in subsequent extraction steps to concentrate and dispose of undesirable impurities remaining. FIG. 1 is a flowsheet illustrating an elemental form of one embodiment of the invention. FIG. 2 is a flowsheet showing an expanded form of the process shown in FIG. 1. Spent liquor from an alumina precipitation such as the precipitation of green liquor from the well-known Bayer Process contains both caustic and alumina values. The ratio of alumina to caustic, however, is too low to permit further recovery of the alumina values by further precipitation. In accordance with the invention, the spent liquor is contacted with an extraction fluid capable of selectively extracting caustic from the spent liquor. The extraction fluid, in addition to its selectivity for the caustic values, must be immiscible in the spent liquor forming two layers which can be subsequently separated from one another. Furthermore, the extraction fluid must be chemically capable of withstanding the caustic conditions under elevated temperatures without decomposition or degradation. In a preferred embodiment, the extraction fluid comprises an ethyl alcohol which may be substantially pure or have up to 10 vol.% of denaturing ingredients, such as methanol, benzene, or the like, or inorganic denaturing agents. It has been found that ethanol, unlike its nearest homologs, methanol and propyl alcohols, will, upon contact with spent liquor, extract caustic, leaving a separate liquid layer comprising the spent liquor having an alumina to caustic ratio approaching that of a green liquor, thus permitting a second precipitation to recover further alumina values from the treated liquor. Referring now to FIG. 1, the invention is illustrated in its most elemental form. A spent liquor stream 10 from a precipitation stage, such as a Bayer precipitation, is contacted at extraction stage 40 with an extraction fluid such as ethanol. The ethanol/caustic layer 42 is passed to distillation stage 70 via line 46, and the ethanol is separated from the caustic. The caustic is returned to the digestion plant via line 18 while the ethanol is recycled back to extraction stage 40. The lower layer 44, which now comprises a sodium aluminate solution having an alumina/caustic ratio approaching a green liquor, is passed via line 48 to precipitation stage 50. The liquor stream is seeded with aluminum trihydroxide to form a precipitate of alumina. The precipitated alumina hydrate is then recovered and blended with alumina hydrate from the Bayer preciptiate while the resulting spent liquor stream 52 may be combined with caustic stream 18 for return to the digestor or recycled. While the foregoing describes the extraction in its simplest form wherein additional alumina values can be precipitated for a given amount of digestion of ore, the invention finds its greater value in a multiple stage process wherein at least a portion of the spent liquor from the additional precipitation stage is further treated in subsequent extraction stages to remove other impurities in the system which may have been introduced via the ore and which, in any event, tend to build up in continuous recycling. Referring now to FIG. 2, a spent liquor stream 110 from a Bayer precipitation (not shown) may be optionally concentrated by evaporation by evaporator 120 or evaporator 120 may be bypassed in whole or in part by line 112. The concentrated spent liquor may then be split into two streams if only a portion of the spent liquor is to be subjected to the separation process of the invention. If the spent liquor is split into two streams, stream 116 may be returned directly to the digestion stage. The main spent liquor stream 114 may be passed through heat exchanger 130 to heat output caustic stream 214 which has already been processed and is to be fed back to the digestion stage after blending with stream 116. The cooled spent liquor stream 114a is then contacted with the extraction fluid in first extraction system 140 which, as illustrated in FIG. 2, may comprise two or more extraction stages with the first stage denoted as 140a and the additional stages denoted as 140b. Most of the caustic values, i.e. NaOH or the like, combine with the extraction fluid into one layer 142. Layer 142, containing the extraction fluid and caustic, passes via stream 146 to distillation stage 210. The extraction fluid, if more volatile than the caustic (e.g., ethanol), is distilled off and passed to second extraction system 160 via line 212. The caustic residue stream 214 may be passed through heat exchanger 130 prior to blending with stream 116 for recycling back to the digester. A cleaning caustic side stream 214a may be tapped off stream 214 prior to combination with stream 116 for cleaning of equipment. The remaining constituents in cooled spent liquor stream 114a, principally a sodium aluminate/caustic solution having an alumina/caustic ratio similar to green liquor and impurities, separate into another layer 144. Layer 144 is passed to the additional stage or stages 140b (noted in the drawing as n+1 extractions where n equal 0 to infinity) via line 120 where it is contacted with extraction fluid causing separation into layers 142' and 144'. Layer 142', which contains the extraction fluid and caustic, is cycled back to stage 140a via line 122. Layer 144' is passed to a precipitation stage 150 via stream 148 where the liquor is seeded with aluminum trihydroxide to precipitate alumina hydrate. The precipitated alumina may then be combined with the alumina precipitated from the Bayer Process. In accordance with a second aspect of the invention, other impurities in the spent liquor are now separated out. Such impurities tended to build up in the conventional prior art process where the spent liquor from a Bayer precipitation is recycled directly back to the digestion stage. To accomplish this further separation, the spent liquor from the precipitation stage 150 is fed as a stream 152 to second extraction system 160. Stream 152 may optionally be separated into two streams 152a and 168. Stream 168 is flashed at 170 to remove any remaining separation fluid and the spent liquor is then returned to the digestion stage. Spent liquor stream 152a is contacted in second extraction system 160 by extraction fluid from distillation stage 210 via stream 212. Extraction system 160 comprises two or more extraction stages with the first stage indicated as 160a and the additional stages being denoted as 160b. The fluids in stage 160a separate into layers 162 and 164. Layer 162 contains the caustic values and the extraction fluid while the remainder of the spent liquor, including dissolved impurities, separate into a second layer 164. The caustic/extraction fluid layer 162 may be recirculated back to first extraction system 140 via line 165. Layer 164 is passed to the additional stage or stages 160b (noted in the drawing as m+1 where m equals 0 to infinity) via line 166 where it is contacted with fresh extraction fluid entering system 160 from distillation stage 210 via stream 212 as previously discussed. Two layers, 162' and 164', are formed. Layer 162', comprising the caustic and extraction fluid, is passed back to stage 160a by line 167. Layer 164' ultimately forms a precipitate or sludge 172 consisting principally of sodium aluminate, particularly when second extraction system 160 comprises a multistage extraction. Liquor from system 160 and the sodium aluminate sludge or precipitation 172 are then removed and moved to separation stage 175. Liquor from stage 175 then passes through line 188 to cooling stage 190 where the liquid is cooled to 0� C. resulting in a sodium carbonate precipitate 192. The liquid in cooling stage 190 exits via line 194 and is then concentrated at evaporation stage 196, causing sodium sulfate and sodium fluoride to precipitate. These salts are then removed and either recovered or disposed of. The remaining fluid in line 198, containing principally caustic and organics, may be combined with the sodium carbonate in line 192 from cooling stage 190 and the solids in line 186 from separation stage 175 and recycled back to the kiln. There the organics may be burned off and the caustic and sodium carbonate may be reacted with fresh bauxite ore to recover the sodium values as sodium aluminate. Distillation stage 210, which is used to recover the extraction fluid, preferably comprises at least two distillation columns in series. When the extraction fluid comprises ethanol, the feed to the second column will comprise about 70% ethanol and 30% water, and the second column will yield a top layer of about 95% ethanol and 5% water with the bottom layer of water containing only a trace of alcohol. Thus, the invention provides an improved process for the recovery of alumina from ore wherein a second precipitation, after extraction of caustic from spent liquor, permits recovery of a greater yield of alumina from a given amount of green liquor from a digestion process. The invention further permits removal of undesired impurities from the digestion-precipitation loop, thus reducing scale buildup on equipment and downtime for cleanup as well as increasing the overall purity of the alumina product.

Profile in Diversity: Always be professional, but don't be afraid to be authentic
Best Practices in Diversity
- Don Seiffert, Special to the Journal
As an African-American, Ken Willis says his friends from the Washington, D.C., area often ask him how he copes with being a minority in Boston.
He tells them it's not easy, because the minority population is so small here.
"I guess being born here, I'm used to it. But coming here from outside, it can be difficult," he said.
Willis, 45, was born and raised in Dorchester and attended Boston public schools during the busing years in the early 1970s. In fifth grade, he suddenly started attending school in Roslindale — "which, at that time, seemed like a far ways away," he said.
His father was a custodian and his mother was a secretary, both in the Boston school system. Willis said he inherited a strong work ethic from them, and he got a paper route at a young age. But, he said, he was always interested in how hierarchy and structure creates a culture within an organization.
He majored in business at Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, and 14 years ago, he got a job at Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, where he is currently a vice president. In 2005, he decided that to get ahead, he'd have to go for his MBA.
"I understood that most of the folks in the higher levels of the company had advanced degrees," he said.
Willis earned his MBA online through the University of Maryland University College. A few years later, he asked his supervisor at the bank for a mentor of color. That's when it was suggested he apply for the fellow's program at The Partnership.
"It just so happened that human resources got wind that I was looking for a mentor, and they knew about this program," he said.
