Alumina is produced from bauxite, which contains a mixture of various oxides, such as aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), silicon (Si), and titanium (Ti). Bauxite can also be considered a source of several other valuable metals, such as scandium (Sc), vanadium (V), and gallium (Ga). The composition and mineralogy of alumina determine their …

Bauxite residue (BR), also referred to as red mud, is an industrial waste resulting from the processing of bauxite to alumina using the Bayer process. The primary factors affecting the amount of BR produced by alumina refineries are the bauxite composition and the production method (Evans, 2016). Normally, 0.7–2 tonnes of BR …
Unlike bauxite ores found in other countries, more than 99% of the bauxite ores in China are diasporic-characterized by tough processing demands, high alumina and silica content, and low alumina to silica mass ratios (hereafter referred to as A/S). In 2003 China's bauxite mineral reserves stood at 2.545 Gt (Luo, 2006). Among these ores ...

A low grade bauxite sample of central India was thoroughly characterized with the help of stereomicroscope, reflected light microscope and electron microscope using QEMSCAN. A few hand picked samples were collected from different places of the mine and were subjected to geochemical characterization studies. The geochemical studies …

The bauxite is then transported to the crushing and washing area, reducing the particle size and increasing the available surface area for the digestion stage.

Meanwhile, the accumulated organics from bauxite ore and the added oxidants can affect these redox reactions. Although reductive Bayer digestion was proposed by adding reductants instead of lime for treating diasporic bauxite (Li et al., 2017b), only the phase transformations of hematite and alumogoethite minerals were …
Consequently, bauxite containing a reactive silica (total silica content of all minerals that react under given processing conditions) content greater than ~ 8% cannot be economically processed using the Bayer process (Smith, 2009). These problems are exacerbated as high quality (low reactive silica) bauxite supply diminishes and more …
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 …
To maintain economic alumina production, a number of investigations have been conducted to try and minimise the impact of silica on the economics of existing processes and to develop new methods for processing high silica bauxite (Smith, 2009).One of the methods is to effectively pre-concentrate high silica bauxite or …
