Bauxite is the most important aluminium ore. It consists largely of the minerals gibbsite Al(OH)3, boehmite ÃŽ³-AlO(OH), and diaspore ÃŽ±-AlO(OH), together with the iron oxides goethite and hematite, the clay mineral kaolinite and small amounts of anatase TiO2. Bauxites are heated in pressure vessels with sodium hydroxide solution at **0â??**0 °C through which aluminium is dissolved as aluminate (Bayer process). After separation of ferruginous residue (red mud) by filtering, pure gibbsite is precipitated when the liquor is cooled and seeded with fine grained aluminium hydroxide. Gibbsite is converted into aluminium oxide by heating. This is molten at approx. ***0 °C by addition of cryolite as a flux and reduced to metallic aluminium by a highly energy-consumptive electrolytic process (the Hall-HÃĩroult process). Bauxite is used in cement, chemicals, face makeup, soda cans, dishwashers, siding for houses, and other aluminum products. It is recycled so that it can be used over again.
