BAUXITE
Bauxite is the primary source of aluminum and essential for high-temperature industrial applications like refractory materials—critical for aluminum production, furnace linings, and other heat-resistant processes.

TYPES OF BAUXITE
High alumina, easy to process
Most common for aluminum production due to higher Al(OH)3 content and simpler refining.
Needs higher processing temperature
Alumina in a more complex form; widely used where refineries support higher calcination temps.
Heat-resistant & harder to process
Preferred in regions with specific high-temp refining capabilities; high Al contents.
Lateritic deposits
Formed in tropical climates; known for high aluminum content and commonly refined for alumina.
Limestone-hosted, higher silica
More challenging to refine but still valuable for aluminum production with proper beneficiation.
USES OF BAUXITE
Primary source of alumina refined to aluminum for transport, packaging, and construction.
Used in furnaces, kilns, and reactors for lining and insulation due to high heat resistance.
For grinding wheels, sandpapers, and cutting tools.
Additive to improve strength, durability, and heat resistance.
Feedstock for alumina-based chemicals used in water treatment, catalysts, and more.
GRADES OF BAUXITE
Metallurgical Grade
≈45–60% alumina; used for aluminum production across construction, transportation, and packaging.
Refractory Grade
High alumina (~80–90%); for heat-resistant products including furnaces, kilns, and reactors.
Abrasive Grade
≈50–60% alumina; for grinding wheels and sandpapers.
Chemical Grade
≈55–70% alumina; for alumina-based chemicals (e.g., water treatment, catalysts).
Cement Grade
Typically 30–45% alumina; used as raw material in cement for strength and durability.
