Keywords - Alumina, Aluminum, Bauxite, Beneficiation, Silica. 1. Introduction Primarily, bauxite ore exists in the form of aluminum oxide hydrates alongside impurities such as iron oxide, titanium dioxide, and silicon dioxide. Geologically, two major types of bauxite are recognized: lateritic bauxite and karst bauxites.
bauxite is composed of gibbsite as aluminous mineral, kaolinite as silicate mineral and goethite iron mineral. It is formed by leaching of silica from aluminosilicate rock. Lateritic bauxite is classified into six major types on the basis of conditions of weathering and deposit age [7]. The karst bauxite is composed of boehmite and diaspore as
