1 Introduction Overview of Bauxite Ore As a residue of strong chemical weathering, bauxite is mainly composed of Aloxyhydroxides, Feoxides/oxyhydroxides and Tioxides (mainly TiO 2 phases) (Bárdossy, 1982, 1994; Bárdossy and Aleva, 1990; D'Argenio Mindszenty, 1995; Retallack, 2010 ).
It is generally produced from bauxites through the Bayer process. Several organic compounds such as humic matters and oxalates are introduced into the Bayer liquor during the digestion process, resulting in significant hazards to precipitation of aluminum hydroxide.
This process, related to the forebulge uplift at the latest stages of Alpine orogenesis, ... Until recently, the issues of bauxite genesis and its relation to the adjacent karst palaeoenvironment and its tectonostratigraphic constraints in Croatia have been largely underestimated. They were treated earlier in the context of paleoclimate ...
Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. Bauxites vary physically according to the origin and geologic history of their deposits: some deposits are soft, easily crushed, and structureless; some are hard, dense, and pisolitic,
1 Citations Part of the Springer Series in Materials Science book series (SSMATERIALS,volume 320) Abstract In this chapter the Authors summarize the typical features of bauxite which are believed to play roles in mining, beneficiation and mainly in alumina processing, that is, the industrial value of the raw material.
Croatian bauxites are long known for their chemical and physical diversity arisen from their characteristic origin and emplacement within the area of the AdriaticDinaric carbonate platform (ADCP). They include eight horizons spanning the period between the Upper Triassic (Carnian) and the Miocene, formed on subaerially exposed platform paleoenvironments. The bauxite genesis is recorded in ...
However, the metallogenic mechanism of bauxite is still obscure due to the unclear formation process of the main ore mineral, diaspore. We conducted geological, ... However, the genesis of many bauxite occurrences remains insufficiently explained and untouched by modern models and techniques. The karst bauxite of the Unterlaussa mining district ...
However, there are actually two types of bauxites. The genesis of only one of them can be adequately explained by the lateritization process. Lateritization usually means that aluminumbearing igneous rocks (like granite) are slowly weathering to clay minerals, which are then altered to aluminum hydroxides by continuous leaching of silica.
This provides us a precious chance to explore the genesis of bauxite formed in an intracontinental setting without impact of simultaneous orogenesis in the marginal areas. ... in the Yuxi karstic bauxite deposit within CYB were conducted to explore the formation environment and metallogenic process of Early Permian bauxite. Profile A in the ...
The upper Permian Heshan Formation in Pingguo, Guangxi, China, is strongly enriched in lithium (Li) and niobium (Nb). The lower bauxite layer contains wt.%Nb2O5 (averaging wt.%), and the overlying clay rock layer contains wt.% Li2O (averaging wt.%), both of which exceed the cutoff grades for independent Li and Nb deposits and are therefore highly prospective ...
In this study, we present the main findings from microstructural and mineralogical studies and their implications for the genesis of bauxite/laterite in Mainpat plateau. Megascopic studies showed reddish laterite to offwhite bauxite. Strong hydrolytic action formed small oolites and large pisolites with sizes of 12 cm in diameter. Pisolites and oolites were elliptical, circular, and as ...
Its process continues for a sufficient time and weathering products that are avoided from erosion will produce lateritic deposits. Bauxite can be formed from lateritic processes. Bauxite genesis is closely related to the original rock, formation process, and geological environment of its formation. The dominant bauxite thickness is found in ...
The purpose of present work was to provide mineralogical insight into the rare earth element (REE) phases in bauxite residue to improve REE recovering technologies. Experimental work was performed by electron probe microanalysis with energy dispersive as well as wavelength dispersive spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. REEs are found as discrete mineral particles in bauxite ...
This pattern of critical metal enrichment reflects a threestage genesis of bauxite linked to in situ weathering and bauxitization, which provide insights into the weathering history of other ...
Ore genesis theories are dependent on the mineral or commodity. Ore genesis theories generally involve three components: source, transport or conduit, and trap. This also applies to the petroleum industry, which was first to use this methodology. Source is required because metal must come from somewhere, and be liberated by some process.
This bauxitization process affected the upper surface of the Ubaid limestone formation, which directly underlies the Nuwaifa bauxite Formation. ...

However, the genesis of many bauxite occurrences remains insufficiently explained and untouched by modern models and techniques. The karst bauxite of the Unterlaussa mining district represents the most significant occurrence in Austria and is a prominent member of the European karst bauxites.
Bauxite deposits are generally divided into two categories according to their occurrence status and genesis: (1) lateritic bauxite contains gibbsite as the main ... mineralogical and micromineralogical studies can provide information about the bauxite formation process and the denudation history of the source rocks (D'Argenio and Mindszenty ...

Bauxite is an important ore of aluminum, composed mainly of aluminum oxide and hydroxide minerals. It was named after the village Les BauxdeProvence in southern France, where it was first discovered in 1821 by geologist Henri Rouvère. Bauxites have a range of commercial applications, such as for the production of aluminum metal and aluminumbased chemicals, abrasives, cements, and ...
A comprehensive understanding of the genesis and characteristics of bauxite deposits is hence essential. In this study, Machine learning methods (Random Forest and Logistic Regression) are applied to improve the understanding of Tethyan bauxite formation. Our research reveals that the TiO 2 content in Tethyan bauxites is related to their ...
The bauxite was primarily deposited under alkaline and reducing karstic environments, and microorganisms likely were involved in the formation of bauxite ( Liu et al., 2017b, Yang et al., 2021 ). Further, the hypothesis that diaspore was formed by superficial crystallization was proposed ( Liu et al., 2010, Liu et al., 2017b ).
By far, gibbsite is the cheapest to process. In 1873, bauxite mining began in Villeveyrac in France. Since then, bauxite mining has grown to a huge scale. By the 1960s, world bauxite production had reached 40 million tonnes. It is now around 260 million tonnes. In 2016, Australia is the world's largest bauxite producer, producing 80 million tonnes.
Karst bauxite deposits in the North Dalmatian piggyback basin (NDPGB) are a part of the Mediterranean bauxite belt, which is the largest European bauxite deposit zone; however, there is a general lack of information regarding the genesis, age, and precursor of the bauxite deposits in this region. In this study, we combined detrital zircon UPb geochronology with compositional, mineralogical ...

The electrons in the current attach to oxygen and hydrogen, the other elements in . bauxite, leaving the aluminum. Ore Genesis. Earth contains a finite amount of ore. Ore genesis, the process by which a deposit of ore is created, is estimated to take millions of years.
Aluminum ore, also known as bauxite, is a naturally occurring mineral rock that contains aluminum in the form of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) mixed with various impurities. Bauxite is the primary source of aluminum, which is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust, comprising about 8% by weight. Bauxite.
Bauxite (Fig. ) 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 nearsurface layers and usually mixed with clay minerals, iron oxide, and titanium dioxide.
