ABSTRACT Bauxite is an important mineral ore that is widely used in aluminum industry for metallurgical and refractory purposes. However bauxite contains silica as an impurity which degrades its quality. Silica forms complex with the caustic used during the processing of ore thereby forming precipitates. This leads to unnecessary wastage of …

This paper reports a study that implements reverse flotation method to separate silica from West Kalimantan bauxite ores. The study is aimed to find the good process condition to obtain low-silica bauxite as the feed for the Bayer process. The experiments were carried out in a 1 L of flotation cell tank.
For both castings, no metal penetration or veining defects were observed. The bauxite 40/100 cored area showed a slightly rougher surface than the zircon coated silica sand cored area. However, the foundry manager indicated the surface finish of the bauxite 40/100 product was accepted and would be included into the finish casting lot. …

The Bayer process is the principal method for the production of alumina from bauxite worldwide. The modern version of the process (developed in the 1880's) still maintains the key steps of dissolution of alumina-rich minerals into hot caustic solution, separation of the insoluble phases, followed by gibbsite precipitation and calcination of …
Bauxites that have high levels of silica (SiO 2) go through a process to remove this impurity. Silica can cause problems with scale formation and quality of the final product. ... are set according to the properties of the bauxite ore. Ores with a high gibbsite content can be processed at 140°C, while böhmitic bauxites require temperatures ...

Bauxite is a sedimentary rock mineral that is the primary source of aluminum. It is formed through the weathering of aluminum-rich rocks in tropical and subtropical regions. The name bauxite is derived from the French village of Les Baux, where it was first discovered in 1821 by geologist Pierre Berthier. Bauxite is typically found in layers …
