Gravity Methods Applied to Bauxite Residue for Mineral …
Bauxite residue Gravity methods pre-concentration. Mineral. Introduction. Bauxite residue (BR) is a caustic red-colored by-product of the Bayer process for alumina (Al2O3) extraction from bauxite ore, generated in a proportion ranging from 0.8 to 1.5 (alumina: BR). BR may have distinguished particles size distribution.

Bauxite Beneficiation: An Approach to Value Addition in …
Bauxite recoveries in modern washing plants is in the range of 60–80%, however, in some of the plants, the recovery is found to be as low as 50%, as they use simple vibrating screens in place of hydro-cyclones. The quality of input bauxite, particularly silica content and targeted washed bauxite quality, dictate the washed ore recovery.

ARTICLE: Addressing the Challenge of Bauxite Residue
Bauxite ore contains 30-60% aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3). In the Bayer process (Figure 2), the bauxite is digested in a pressure vessel along with a sodium hydroxide solution (caustic soda) at an elevated temperature, which dissolves the aluminum oxide converting it into sodium aluminate, leaving insoluble red mud solids as a by-product.
