Get PriceIn 2024 world reserves of bauxite ore were assessed at billion tonnes When bauxite is extracted from the earth the strip mining process removes all native vegetation in the mining region resulting in a loss of habitat and food for local wildlife as well as significant soil erosion
Get PriceAfter the bauxite ore is extracted from mines it is taken to a plant where it is refined The process of obtaining the aluminum oxide requires high temperature and pressure Sodium hydroxide is used to extract the aluminum oxide The process produces a solid residue which is then removed
Get PriceTypes of Bauxite Ore In 1951 Vadasz classified bauxite into lateritic bauxites and karst bauxites Lateritic bauxites Also known as silicate bauxites these were formed due to the lateralization of various silicate rocks such as granite gneiss basalt and formation of these bauxites is heavily dependent on intense weathering conditions in a location with excellent drainage
Get PriceThe chemical and mineralogical composition of red mud depends largely on the nature of bauxite ore and the extraction process Thus there is wide variation in chemistry of red mud as follows Fe 2 O 3 2024 wt% Al 2 O 3 1030 wt% SiO 2 0220 wt% TiO 2 CHAT
