Beneficiation of bauxite ores
For 1 t of metal production, approximately 2 t of alumina is required, which is obtained through processing 5–6 t of bauxite ore. Large amount of power is consumed for smelting of aluminum, which is mostly provided by coal-based power plants. For this, about 8–12 t of coal is needed per ton of aluminum produced.

Comprehensive Application Technology of Bauxite Residue
Bauxite residue is the industrial solid waste discharged from the production of alumina by bauxite, which contains a certain amount of ferric oxide in a reddish-brown color, so it is also called "red mud", and is a typical non-ferrous metallurgical solid waste (Wang et al. 2018; Xue et al. 2022).The varieties of bauxite residue depend on the grade of the …

Determining the Price of Minerals
The economic value of bauxite is dictated by its behaviour in the Bayer process. Gibbsitic and diasporic ores are more valuable than boehmitic ores because they are less expensive to process. Processing gibbsitic bauxite can be done at low temperature, whereas boehmitic and diasporic bauxite require high-temperature processing.

Reaction behavior of quartz in gibbsite-boehmite bauxite in Bayer
Many Chinese alumina refineries have begun to import bauxite from Australia, Guinea, Indonesia, and other countries rich in bauxite resources due to the lack of domestic bauxite output. Among these countries, Australia has the largest reserves of bauxite resources and its bauxite exports are stable [[1], [2], [3], [4]].

A process for enhanced removal of iron from bauxite ores
Abstract. A process to remove iron from bauxite ore is described in which the ore is first finely crushed, calcined, and contacted with a reducing gas to convert iron present as very weakly magnetic goethite or hematite to magnetite or elemental iron. The ore is then passed through a magnetic separator to remove the iron.

Gravity Methods Applied to Bauxite Residue for Mineral Pre
Bauxite residue (BR) is a caustic red-colored by-product of the Bayer process for alumina (Al 2 O 3) extraction from bauxite ore, generated in a proportion ranging from 0.8 to 1.5 (alumina: BR). BR may have distinguished particle's size distribution varying from sand (+100 μm) to fine particles (−150 μm) depending on the bauxite origins.

Recovery of scandium from bauxite residue—red mud: a review
Red mud is a slimy caustic residue generated from alumina refining of bauxite ores. During the alumina extraction process, about 35 %–40 % of the bauxite ores go into the residue as highly alkaline red mud slurry (pH 10.0–12.5) which contains 15 %–40 % of solid phase in volume [1, 2].Depending on the quality of bauxite ores, producing 1 t …
