The microstructure of bauxite determines to a significant extent the opportunities for its beneficiation and optimum processing downstream. Adequate fine grinding commensurate with its microstructure may result in proper mineral liberation and grain size distribution required for effective ore dressing (i.e. H/M or magnetic separation) and digestion respectively.

Bauxite Beneficiation Electrostatic. Aluminum is the most common metal element found on Earth, totaling about 8% of the Earth's crust. However, aluminum as an element is reactive and therefore does not occur naturally – it needs to be refined to produce aluminum metal. The primary starting material for aluminum refining is bauxite, the ...
