In 1999, scientists at Alcoa’s Technology Delivery Group, based at Alcoa’s Kwinana refinery, began researching the use of naturally occurring bacteria to remove oxalate from the refining process. Over the next decade the group identified the specific alkali tolerant bacteria that could efficiently break down the impurity and developed an understanding of the optimum conditions under which ...

Typical Bauxite Mining Process. Vegetation is cleared and top soil is removed and set aside for rehabilitation; Scrapers and excavators are used to remove the remaining overburden and expose the cap rock. Depending on the depth of the cap rock, it can be broken by blasting, or simply removed with scrapers and excavators ; The bauxite is then mined using excavators or loaders. Off road haul ...

Bauxite tailings, also known as bauxite residue, red mud, red sludge, or alumina refinery residues (ARR), is a highly alkaline waste product composed mainly of iron oxide that is generated in the industrial production of alumina (aluminium oxide, the principal raw material used in the manufacture of aluminium metal and also widely used in the manufacture of ceramics, abrasives and refractories).
There are currently five bauxite mines in Australia providing feedstock for the seven alumina refineries, which in turn supply alumina to the six Australian aluminium smelters and the export market. Australia is the largest producer of bauxite in the world, with 74.9 million tonnes produced in 2011. The five Australian bauxite mines are:

Sustainable Bauxite Mining Guidelines ii Executive summary . Bauxite, the primary ore used to make aluminium, is refined into alumina, which is then smelted into aluminium. Other uses of alumina include chemical grade applications. Bauxite demand has historically been met by a few large players in the market, which have operated large scale ...
When mining for bauxite, about half a metre of topsoil is removed and conserved for later rehabilitation. The next one to two metres of bauxite is drilled and blasted for extraction. Once the ore has been broken, it is loaded onto haul trucks by excavators or front-end loaders and transported to primary crushers at the mines. When mining began, Alcoa constructed the first alumina refinery in ...

The Alcoa Bauxite Mine is near Bauxite, Arkansas. Historically the site has been part of the Pulaski-Saline Mining District. The site was first discovered in 1887 by J. C. Branner-State Geologist. Production output of the Alcoa Bauxite Mine was considered to be medium size. The ore mined is composed of bauxite with waste material consisting primarily of sphene, rutile and anatase. The ore body ...
In the same year, 2500 tonnes of ore was shipped to the USA for process investigation and it was realised that the bauxite was suitable for processing using Bayer technology. The Kirkvine works were completed around 1952 and the first shipment of alumina was consigned to a Norwegian smelter in January 1953. A Bayer plant in Jamaica.

The Process of Mining Bauxite. by Dajcor Aluminum. Bauxite is a mineral that contains varying amounts of combined water and several impurities of which ferric oxide and silica are usually predominant. It is found in a belt around the equator and is generally extracted by open-cast mining. Before mining can commence the land needs to be cleared of timber and vegetation. Milling: Several
Bauxite Mining. AWAC's bauxite deposits are generally extracted by open cut mining from strata, typically some 4-6 metres thick under a shallow covering of topsoil and vegetation. The topsoil is removed and stored for later use in restoration of the forest. Generally there is a layer of capstone that is removed to expose the bauxite ore which is extracted, broken up and transported to ...
