Bauxite is a sedimentary rock with a high aluminum content and is the world's leading resource for creating aluminum products. At our North Coast of Jamaica operations, we ship high-quality bauxite with a silica content of less than 2% that is shipped in small particle sizes for a more cost-efficient product.
DetailsLow-grade high-silica bauxite has a relatively low alumina/silica (A/S) ratio, so it must be desilicated prior to be used in the Bayer process digestion system [3, …
DetailsIn view of beneficiation action of bauxite, removal of maximum silica content from the feed ore is removal of silica content that are active in nature before entering into digestion is the concept....

High silica bauxites are usually considered to be those with reactive silica contents in excess of ∼. 8% by weight of the bauxite (reactive silica is defined later in this paper).. This review is limited to bauxites as feedstocks …

DetailsBAUXITE: High alumina and low reactive silica may survive competition. With the given bauxite export forecast of Guinea, there may be fierce competition and countries exporting high silica and boehmitic bauxite may face new challenges. The present alumina prices will also put pressure and only bauxite with high available alumina and low ...
DetailsBaksa et al. (1986) estimated that soda at temperatures ranging from 100 to 250 °C, depending required for processing high silica bauxites accounts for on the form of alumina in the bauxite, e.g. gibbsitic, as much as 20% of alumina production costs. boehmitic or diasporic.
DetailsThe more is the silica, higher is the soda consumption which increases the cost of alumina production. Physical beneficiation techniques are employed to reduce the reactive silica content of bauxite. Based on several investigations it has been made possible to remove ~30% of silica with 92% recovery depending on the characteristics of the ore.
DetailsWorld reserves of bauxite include vast quantities of ore which at present are sub-economic due to high levels of reactive silica that cause expensive loss of caustic soda during Bayer processing. As the economic reserves of high grade ores diminish, attention is turning to how these lower grade ores may be processed at reasonable cost.
DetailsHigh silica bauxites are usually considered to be those with reactive silica contents in excess of ∼ 8% by weight of the bauxite (reactive silica is defined later in this paper). This review is limited to bauxites as feedstocks for the processes.
DetailsSilica is the most commercially important impurity in bauxite as generally the more silica in the bauxite, the higher the amount of caustic soda consumed in the refining process and the higher the loss of alumina to the red mud tailings in the desilication product (DSP). The two main sources of silica in bauxite are kaolinite and quartz.
DetailsBauxite is a primary ore of aluminum. Precise information about bauxite mineralogical composition is challenging and crucial for efficient aluminum extraction and for the determination of its appropriateness for different industrial applications. For the qualitative and quantitative analysis of bauxite ore, we performed laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy …
DetailsThe bauxite ores to be studied are those of interest to the industrial partners and include high silica bauxite from Greek deposits (Parnassus - Ghiona area) and high silica bauxite from Italian deposits (Nurra area, Sardinia). The work programme will be implemented in the following phases, each of which will contain the indicated areas:
