We propose that the triggering process for the genesis of the paleosol profiles, bauxitic material and bauxite pods was a coupled mechanism between favourable climate and uplift along the northern ...
Croatian bauxites are long known for their chemical and physical diversity arisen from their characteristic origin and emplacement within the area of the AdriaticDinaric carbonate platform (ADCP). They include eight horizons spanning the period between the Upper Triassic (Carnian) and the Miocene, formed on subaerially exposed platform paleoenvironments. The bauxite genesis is recorded in ...
In this study, we present the main findings from microstructural and mineralogical studies and their implications for the genesis of bauxite/laterite in Mainpat plateau. Megascopic studies showed reddish laterite to offwhite bauxite. Strong hydrolytic action formed small oolites and large pisolites with sizes of 12 cm in diameter. Pisolites and oolites were elliptical, circular, and as ...
However, there are actually two types of bauxites. The genesis of only one of them can be adequately explained by the lateritization process. Lateritization usually means that aluminumbearing igneous rocks (like granite) are slowly weathering to clay minerals, which are then altered to aluminum hydroxides by continuous leaching of silica.
During this process, mobile elements such as Ca, Mg, Na and K are preferentially dissolved and leached from the source rocks, resulting in the accumulation of relatively immobile elements such as Al, Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta and REE in karst cavities of bauxite deposits (MacLean et al., 1997; Mameli et al., 2007).
Its process continues for a sufficient time and weathering products that are avoided from erosion will produce lateritic deposits. Bauxite can be formed from lateritic processes. Bauxite genesis is closely related to the original rock, formation process, and geological environment of its formation. The dominant bauxite thickness is found in ...
We conducted geological, mineralogical, δ 34 S pyrite, and insitu diaspore trace element analyses on the BaodeXingxian large bauxite deposit in the northern NCC, aiming to clarify the diasporeforming mechanism and explore the genesis of bauxite. Generally, bauxites in northern NCC contains three layers from bottom to top: Febearing ...
Ore genesis theories are dependent on the mineral or commodity. Ore genesis theories generally involve three components: source, transport or conduit, and trap. This also applies to the petroleum industry, which was first to use this methodology. Source is required because metal must come from somewhere, and be liberated by some process.
ADVERTISEMENT Bauxite Used for Aluminum Production Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. The first step in producing aluminum is to crush the bauxite and purify it using the Bayer Process. In the Bayer Process, the bauxite is washed in a hot solution of sodium hydroxide, which leaches aluminum from the bauxite.
A succession of Permian bauxite deposits are concentrated in Wuchuan, Zheng'an and Daozhen counties of northern Guizhou, South China. These deposits overlie contrast bedrocks, which are discriminated from the other bauxites of karst type in South China. Horizons of these bauxites are typified by sandwiched constructure, the upper and the lower layers of bauxitic claystone interbedded by the ...

Explor. ... analyses demonstrate that kaolinite is the most likely host mineral of Li in the studied bauxites and the leaching process after bauxite deposition can significantly reduce the lithium ...
A comprehensive understanding of the genesis and characteristics of bauxite deposits is hence essential. In this study, Machine learning methods (Random Forest and Logistic Regression) are applied to improve the understanding of Tethyan bauxite formation. Our research reveals that the TiO 2 content in Tethyan bauxites is related to their ...
1 Citations Part of the Springer Series in Materials Science book series (SSMATERIALS,volume 320) Abstract In this chapter the Authors summarize the typical features of bauxite which are believed to play roles in mining, beneficiation and mainly in alumina processing, that is, the industrial value of the raw material.
The terrestrial deposition process for karst bauxite is difficult to constrain due to its allochthonous origin, multiple controls and the difficulty in geodynamic reconstruction. This ambiguity has been clarified from investigation of the provenance and geologicgeographic conditions for the formation of Quaternary gibbsite nodules in the Yongjiang Basin.
This pattern of critical metal enrichment reflects a threestage genesis of bauxite linked to in situ weathering and bauxitization, which provide insights into the weathering history of other ...

Bauxite deposits are generally divided into two categories according to their occurrence status and genesis: (1) lateritic bauxite contains gibbsite as the main ... mineralogical and micromineralogical studies can provide information about the bauxite formation process and the denudation history of the source rocks (D'Argenio and Mindszenty ...
Bauxite residue (red mud), an alkaline, saline bauxite processing waste, is mainly produced by the Bayer process in which alumina is extracted from bauxite (Xue et al. 2015).The global inventory of bauxite residue reached an estimated billion tons in 2014 and is predicted to increase by 120 million tons per annum (Klauber et al. 2011).Globally, China is one of the largest producers of ...

The genesis of the Quaternary bauxites is a unique process that involved not only the formation of bauxite but also the renovation of karst topography 12.
The bauxite was primarily deposited under alkaline and reducing karstic environments, and microorganisms likely were involved in the formation of bauxite ( Liu et al., 2017b, Yang et al., 2021 ). Further, the hypothesis that diaspore was formed by superficial crystallization was proposed ( Liu et al., 2010, Liu et al., 2017b ).
1 Introduction Overview of Bauxite Ore As a residue of strong chemical weathering, bauxite is mainly composed of Aloxyhydroxides, Feoxides/oxyhydroxides and Tioxides (mainly TiO 2 phases) (Bárdossy, 1982, 1994; Bárdossy and Aleva, 1990; D'Argenio Mindszenty, 1995; Retallack, 2010 ).
By far, gibbsite is the cheapest to process. In 1873, bauxite mining began in Villeveyrac in France. Since then, bauxite mining has grown to a huge scale. By the 1960s, world bauxite production had reached 40 million tonnes. It is now around 260 million tonnes. In 2016, Australia is the world's largest bauxite producer, producing 80 million tonnes.
Mineral genesis and oreforming process. Three stages of bauxite formation are recognized based on the mineralogy of studied samples: (1) weathering of regional sedimentary strata; (2) bauxite deposition; (3) second exposure of previously deposited bauxite caused by paleouplift.
The upper Permian Heshan Formation in Pingguo, Guangxi, China, is strongly enriched in lithium (Li) and niobium (Nb). The lower bauxite layer contains wt.%Nb2O5 (averaging wt.%), and the overlying clay rock layer contains wt.% Li2O (averaging wt.%), both of which exceed the cutoff grades for independent Li and Nb deposits and are therefore highly prospective ...

Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. Bauxites vary physically according to the origin and geologic history of their deposits: some deposits are soft, easily crushed, and structureless; some are hard, dense, and pisolitic,
The electrons in the current attach to oxygen and hydrogen, the other elements in . bauxite, leaving the aluminum. Ore Genesis. Earth contains a finite amount of ore. Ore genesis, the process by which a deposit of ore is created, is estimated to take millions of years.
