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 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 ...
ADVERTISEMENT Bauxite Used for Aluminum Production Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. The first step in producing aluminum is to crush the bauxite and purify it using the Bayer Process. In the Bayer Process, the bauxite is washed in a hot solution of sodium hydroxide, which leaches aluminum from the bauxite.
The global bauxite market is projected to reach US billion by 2030, at a CAGR of %. Production of bauxite is concentrated in a few countries, with Australia, China, and Guinea being the ...
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,

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 ...
The downward enrichment in REEs and Y to the bottom of the bauxite ore was probably due to the bioleaching process postdeposition (Laskou and EconomouEliopoulos, 2013; Liu et al., 2020a). ... Carboniferous sequences in the southwestern North China Craton: implications for the regional tectonic evolution and bauxite genesis.
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 ...
The bauxite overburden material in Brazil includes some topsoil and lateritic crusts, as well as thick clays that cover most bauxite deposits of the Brazilian Amazon region. These thick overburdens are usually considered a drawback during mining, as their removal increases the costeffectiveness of the whole mining process.
The terrestrial deposition process for karst bauxite is difficult to constrain due to its allochthonous origin, multiple controls and the difficulty in geodynamic reconstruction. This ambiguity has been clarified from investigation of the provenance and geologicgeographic conditions for the formation of Quaternary gibbsite nodules in the Yongjiang Basin.
Each genetic group of bauxite has experienced separation of aluminum (Al) and silicon (Si) by the accumulation of Al, and the removal of Si, alkali metals, and rare earth elements from parent rock (sediment) during its weathering. Download : Download fullsize image Figure 1.
Processing of bauxite in the Bayer process is greatly determined by the nature of bauxite. Comparative dissolution behavior of gibbsite, boehmite and diaspore in alkali solution is presented in Fig. 2 [].It is evident that among the various types, gibbsitic bauxite is the most reactive and easily digestible (105140 °C).
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 ...
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 process has been repeated several times with maximum distribution throughout the profile due to environmental changes, including periodic fluctuations in the groundwater level. ...

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 ...
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 ...

Karst bauxite is a major source of aluminum and contains high concentrations of trace elements such as Li, Ga, Sc, and rare earth elements (REEs). It is regarded as a potential nonconventional REE source due to the increasing demand for REEs.
