Approximately 85 % of bauxite is converted to alumina (Al 2 O 3) for aluminum metal production (Liu et al. 2009), and the majority of bauxite ores are used for the production of alumina via the Bayer Bayer process is the principal industrial means of refining gibbsite bauxite. Globally, more than 90 % of alumina is produced by the Bayer process (Hausberg et al. 2000).

6,655 Bauxite Formula The most common metal on Earth is aluminium, but it is costly, mainly because of the amount of energy required in the production process. Bauxite (Al 2 O 3) is called aluminium ore. The bauxite is purified to yield a white powder from which aluminium can be extractedaluminium oxide (also known as alumina).

This process involves the separation of alumina from unwanted components such as iron, titanium, silica, calcium, vanadium, manganese, etc., in bauxite. In this process, bauxite is heated along with the caustic soda at high pressure (~30 atm), resulting in the formation of sodium aluminate (reactions (1)(4)) (Gil, 2005; Ma et al., 2009).
