Bauxite is a sedimentary rock mineral that is the primary source of aluminum. It is formed through the weathering of aluminum-rich rocks in tropical and subtropical regions. The name bauxite is derived from the French village of Les Baux, where it was first discovered in 1821 by geologist Pierre Berthier. Bauxite is typically found in layers …

Adapted from Cuccia, et. el (2001) (pdf) (93.21 K) Waste Generation, Disposal and Reuse. Bauxite is used to produce alumina, which is then used to produce aluminum. Wastes can be generated at several points in the production process, including during the mining of the bauxite ore, and during the refinery production process.

After mining the bauxite, the next step in making aluminum is processing the raw material into alumina, a white powder, also known as aluminum oxide. Depending on the quality of the bauxite, about 4-5 tons of it can yield about 2 tons of alumina, which will produce one ton of aluminum.
Initial production capacity for the alumina processing plant targeted 600,000 tons per year by 2010, and then 1,2 million tons per year thereafter [3,4]. By 2013, plant's annual output was expected to be about 650,000 tonnes of alumina [7], but according to the data [10] in 2014, the Tan Rai bauxite-alumina complex churned out 485,000 tonnes ...
Mining: The process Around 8% of the earth's crust is aluminium, and no more abundant metal exists on the planet. However, aluminium is never found in a pure state in nature. Instead, aluminium oxide compounds (alumina) are most often found in the sedimentary rock bauxite, which is the primary ore of aluminium. So, before it […]
The transformation of aluminum from a precious to commodity metal is the result of two major nineteenth-century process innovations: alumina production from bauxite via the Bayer [] process and its subsequent electrowinning to produce aluminum metal via the Hall–Héroult [2, 3] process.However, these advances have long since …
1. Introduction1.1.. ScopeThis document will critically review existing and potential processes for the processing of high silica bauxites. High silica bauxites are usually considered to be those with reactive silica contents in excess of ∼. 8% by weight of the bauxite (reactive silica is defined later in this paper).. This review is limited to …
Aluminium ore, or Bauxite, is the raw material used for the production of aluminium, which is extensively used in construction for its anti-corrosive and lightweight properties. It is …
