Alumina extraction from bauxite using concentrated sodium hydroxide in the Bayer process generates a slurry and an extremely alkaline (pH of 9 to 13) byproduct known as bauxite residue or red mud. For each ton of alumina extracted from bauxite, approximately 1.5-2.0 tons of bauxite residue is generated 1 1. Santini TC, Kerr JL, Warren LA.Web
The bauxite formed a bed averaging 2 m thick. The bauxite is friable and reddish-brown, contains boulders of all sizes up to 12 m diameter of gabbro, which would hinder mining. The core of the boulders is fresh, with a thin skin of bauxite. The bauxite ranged from 45–53% A1 2 O 3 and contains 64–78 % gibbsite.Web
The results of studies on the processing of gibbsite-kaolinite bauxite are presented.

Introduction. This 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 bauxites …Web
Boehmite, a new mineral described by J. Boehm in 1925, confirmed and named by J. de Lapparent in 1930, has some properties not yet definitely determined. It occurs in grayish, brownish and reddish shades. Its hardness is between that of gibbsite and diaspore; specific gravity, 3.01 to 3.06 (artif.); crystal system, orthorhombic, crystals ...Web
Bauxite is generally extracted by open cast mining, being almost always found near the surface, with processes that vary slightly depending on the location. Before mining can commence the land needs to be cleared of timber and vegetation. Alongside this process may be the collection of seeds and/or saplings, for inclusion in a seedbank, which ...Web
