Bauxite (Fig. 1.33) is formed by surface weathering of clay rocks around the tropical region and composer of aluminum oxide (Al(OH) 3).It contains 15%–25% aluminum and only ore used for commercial extraction for aluminum. The bauxite occurs as near-surface layers and usually mixed with clay minerals, iron oxide, and titanium dioxide.

Bauxite deposits are spread worldwide, mostly occurring in tropical or subtropical regions [8]. Bauxite mining of both metallurgical and non-metallurgical grade ores is analogous to the mining of other industrial minerals. Normally, the beneficiation or treatment of bauxite is limited to crushing, sieving, washing, and drying of the crude ore [3].

4.1.1 Bauxite Grinding and Slurry Storage Bauxite is ground to less than 1.5 mm particle size at the refinery, using semi-autogenous grinding mills (SAG and/or Ball mills) to ensure sufficient solid-liquid contact during the digestion phase, which improves alumina extraction efficiency. A solution of hot
Outotec has been awarded a contract for the engineering and delivery of a bauxite grinding package to National Aluminium Company's (NALCO) Damanjodi Alumina Refinery for their 5 th stream expansion project in Odisha, India. Typically, the value of this type of an order is in the range of EUR 12-15 million.
Bauxite is generally extracted by open cast mining, being almost always found near the surface, with processes that vary slightly depending on the location. Before mining can commence the land needs to be cleared of timber and vegetation. Alongside this process may be the collection of seeds and/or saplings, for inclusion in a seedbank, which ...
