Aluminum ore, also known as bauxite, is a naturally occurring mineral rock that contains aluminum in the form of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) mixed with various impurities. Bauxite is the primary source of aluminum, which is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust, comprising about 8% by weight.
The procedures used for bauxite resource estimation are summarised using several representative deposits in Australia, Africa, South America and Asia (Fig. 34.1; Table 34.1).Most of the studied deposits are mined by large-scale open pit methods typically producing several million tonnes of bauxite a year over a mine life of 20–40 …
High-Alumina bauxite deposits, categorized as "commercial bauxite" mainly occur in the following areas of Pakistan [1]: a) Katha-Pail Deposits (> 100 m.t) which contains 35.5-72.5% alumina, 8.6850% silica and 10-20% iron along with boehmite and kaolinite and trace amount of diaspore and gibbsite.
1. Introduction. Bauxite is formed mainly as a chemical residue produced by intense subaerial weathering under tropical and humid conditions (Bárdossy, 1982; Tardy and Roquin, 1998).The term "bauxite deposit" in economic geology refers specifically to comprehensive aluminum-bearing geological bodies (usually >35% Al 2 O 3 with Al 2 O …

Bauxite, the principal ore used for aluminum smelting, is named after Les Baux, Provence, the village where the first deposits were discovered. Bauxite contains hydrated alumina equivalent to as much as 40–60% Al 2 O 3, and is free of the other siliceous materials leached out over time. However it still contains 10–30% iron oxide, and some ...
