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 …
Abstract. Calcination is the last step in the production of alumina from Bauxite. In modern refineries this step is carried out in stationary calciners, such as Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB), Gas Suspension (GSC) or Fluid Flash (FF) Calciners. These technologies have been available for over 40 years, and are thus very far matured.

Red mud is a slimy caustic residue generated from alumina refining of bauxite ores. During the alumina extraction process, about 35 %–40 % of the bauxite ores go into the residue as highly alkaline red mud slurry (pH 10.0–12.5) which contains 15 %–40 % of solid phase in volume [1, 2].Depending on the quality of bauxite ores, producing 1 t …
The Bayer Process is the principal industrial means of producing alumina [7], [8]. However, this process is not sufficiently effective for processing low grade bauxite ores containing substantial amounts of Si. Alternatively, bauxite calcining method is used for the processing of low grade bauxite ores [9], [10]. In this method, bauxite ores ...
