Aluminate Bayers liquors are characterized by accumulation of the organic compounds worsening parameters of manufacture and alumina quality. Sorption characteristics of such a sorbents like the activated coal, magnesia, magnesium hydrocarbon- and sulfuraluminates were determined in relation to organic chemistry in aluminates liquors. The extrasorbtion mechanism was defined at processing aluminates liquors with the activated magnesia. It is revealed high sorption potential of magnesium hydroaluminates phases. Advantages of the compounds consist in likeness structure for the system, absence of influence on technological structure of a solution, low power expenses for sorbent regeneration (250–400 ^oC). Abovementioned serves as the good precondition for working out the effective technology of purification for aluminates liquors from organic contaminants by active sorbents — magnesium hydrocarbo- and sulfuraluminates.
