Bauxite residue (BR) is a caustic red-colored by-product of the Bayer process for alumina (Al2O3) extraction from bauxite ore, generated in a proportion ranging from 0.8 to 1.5 (alumina: BR). BR may have distinguished particles size distribution.
Bauxite Technical Note What is bauxite? Hence, the major deposits are generally close to the surface. Bauxite is a mixture of aluminium minerals, clay minerals, and insoluble materials. Three aluminium minerals can occur in bauxite: gibbsite, boehmite and diaspore. Bauxite is the world's principal source of aluminium and can vary
One idea is to pre-process the bauxite through a dry separation process that can concentrate the alumina and reduce the iron, clays (kaolinite) and other inerts before it goes through the Bayer Process. This process reduces the amount of reactive silica in the bauxite fed to the Bayer process, as well as removing a percentage of the inerts ...
