About Bauxite
Bauxite is an aluminum ore containing aluminum oxides and hydroxides, essential for producing primary aluminum through the Smelting-Reduction process and used in abrasives, refractories, and chemicals. Internationally traded bauxite is classified primarily by alumina content (Al₂O₃), with calcined bauxite (high-temperature processed) commanding premium prices for refractory applications, while raw ore grades range from 45–55% alumina. Major producers include Guinea, Australia, and Vietnam, which collectively supply over 70% of global exports. Sourcing buyers should verify silica content rigorously, as excessive silica impurities significantly reduce alumina recovery efficiency and increase processing costs during the Bayer refining process.
