Potential radiological impacts from mining and processing are mainly due to the radiation associated with radionuclides 232 Th and 238 U and their decay products, and there is a relatively small, essentially negligible, contribution to radiation dose estimates from 40 K in the bauxite. The approximate K chemical concentration of wt % in bauxite ore corresponds to a K40 activity of ...

World reserves of bauxite include vast quantities of ore which at present are subeconomic due to high levels of reactive silica that cause expensive loss of caustic soda during Bayer processing. As the economic reserves of high grade ores diminish, attention is turning to how these lower grade ores may be processed at reasonable cost. This paper presents a review of existing and potential ...

The bauxite ban is part of Indonesia's longheld ambitions to move up the value chain, from just extraction of minerals to processing and refining of final goods. Export bans are in line with Indonesia's industrial policy to increase downstream processing domestically, as miners and producers are obliged to build refining facilities onshore.

The principle ore of aluminum, bauxite was vital to ALCOA's production process. In 1909, the town's growing population necessitated a new water supply, and ALCOA dug three deep wells to access the ample groundwater. In a few years, children in Bauxite began to be afflicted with brown stain. Initially, this was of no great concern to ALCOA.

In the Bayer process, bauxite ore is heated in a pressure vessel along with a sodium hydroxide solution (caustic soda) at a temperature of 150 to 200 °C. At these temperatures, the aluminium is dissolved as sodium aluminate (primarily [Al (OH) 4] −) in an extraction process.

Bauxite is the main source of the rare metal gallium. During the processing of bauxite to alumina in the Bayer process, gallium accumulates in the sodium hydroxide liquor. From this it can be extracted by a variety of methods. The most recent is the use of ionexchange resin.

Bauxite beds are blasted loose and dug up with power shovel or dragline, and the ore is transported by truck, rail, or conveyor belt to a processing plant, where it is crushed for easier handling. Refining plants are located near mine sites, if possible, since transportation is a major item in bauxite costs.

Reactivity of various oxides present in bauxite vary with process conditions, hence, one way of enriching bauxite with Al 2 O 3 is by sequential separation of Fe 2 O 3 and TiO 2 and then further second stage chlorination of enriched bauxite. Alpha alumina form is not preferred for carbochlorination as it is a stable form [].Hence, the process conditions should be such that alpha alumina is not ...
