Introduction to Mineral Processing. Mineral processing is a field that contends with procedures and technologies used for separating valuable minerals from gangue or waste rock. It is a process that converts the extracted ore through mining activity into a more concentrated material, which serves as an input for the extractive metallurgy.
Bauxite residues from alumina production. Aluminium production consists of two key stages: The first is alumina refining (Bayer process), which involves the generation of alumina from bauxite ore; the second stage is aluminium smelting (Hall–Héroult), the process of transforming alumina into aluminium.67 Most of the world's alumina is …

The JISCO Alpart plant in St Elizabeth. Bauxite-alumina producer JISCO Alpart is looking to mine more ore for the company's plant, which is expanding at a cost of US$1.1 billion. It will be digging through 700 acres in an area referred to as as the 'Outer Valley' that would require the relocation of small farmers operating there ...
No one can question the enormously positive impact that the bauxite/alumina industry has had on the Jamaican economy over the last 53 years. The sector is today the second largest foreign exchange earner, raking in some US$901 million last year (an 18 per cent increase over 2003), and creating significant linkages in the economy as well as …
Bottom Ash – Ash generated below furnace of the thermal power plant is called the bottom ash. The value of bottom ash generated is around 20 % of total ash. Bottom ash is mostly coarse in nature hence it needs to be further crushed before being transported to ash handling system. Fly Ash – Around 80 % of ash generated in thermal …
To produce 1 kg of aluminium, it requires 2 kg of alumina, which consumes 6 kg of bauxite, leaving behind 4 kg of bauxite residue. Managing this voluminous by-product sustainably has been a long-standing industry challenge. Vedanta Aluminium is actively engaged in minimising bauxite residue and exploring avenues to extract value from it.
