Bauxite, the most important ore of aluminium, contains only 3054% alumina, Al 2 O 3, the rest being a mixture of silica, various iron oxides, and titanium alumina must be purified before it can be refined to aluminium metal. In the Bayer process, bauxite is washed with a hot solution of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, at 175°C (called digestion).

Utilisation of Bayer's process bauxite residue, BR, aka red mud, takes place in a very small fraction worldwide, most probably <5 wt.%. A success story in terms of industrial implementation is utilisation of BR as a raw material in cement use of BR as a pozzolanic material has also been reported, with promising results in laboratory scale.

Also of importance is the relative amount of the three phases: gibbsite, boehmite, and diaspore as their dissolution characteristics in the Bayer process are quite different. By far, gibbsite is the cheapest to process. In 1873, bauxite mining began in Villeveyrac in France. Since then, bauxite mining has grown to a huge scale.

Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. The first step in producing aluminum is to crush the bauxite and purify it using the Bayer Process. In the Bayer Process, the bauxite is washed in a hot solution of sodium hydroxide, which leaches aluminum from the bauxite. The aluminum is precipitated out of solution in the form of aluminum hydroxide ...
