Physical Properties of Bauxite. Bauxite is typically a soft material with a hardness of only 1 to 3 on the Mohs scale.It is white to gray to reddish brown with a pisolitic structure, earthy luster and a low specific gravity of between 2.0 and 2.5. These properties are useful for identifying bauxite; however, they have nothing to do with bauxite's value or usefulness.

For the same grade of bauxite ore, using the traditional Bayer process, the theoretical maximum alumina dissolution rate is 77.1% and the Na 2 O mass fraction in the slag is about 10.0% (A/S = 1 and N/S = 0.608 in the red mud), while the actual dissolution rate of the Bayer process bauxite ore in this alumina plant is about 70%, which shows ...
Bauxite is a prominent constituent of the paleoweathering crust that formed during a ~ 150-million-year-long interval between the Ordovician and Late Carboniferous on the North China Craton, representing one of the largest karst bauxite deposits globally. Although critical metal-bearing minerals are found in this layer regionally, the …
ABSTRACT Bauxite ore is the primary mineral resource for the production of aluminum metal and includes gibbsite [Al(OH) 3], diaspore [α-AlO(OH)] and boehmite [γ-AlO(OH)]. Gangue minerals generally include iron oxides (Hematite [Fe 2O 3], Goethite [FeO(OH)]), silicates (quartz [SiO 2]), kaolinite [Al 2Si 2O 5(OH) 4] and others such as rutile/anatase …
