The effect of size classification on the silica removal of −100 mm bauxite ore is shown in Fig. 4.15. ... Beneficiation of high silica bauxite ores of India an innovative approach. Light. Met ...

 — A substantial amount of bauxite tailings (BTs) at abandoned mine sites have been stored in waste reservoirs for long periods, leading to significant land occupation and environmental degradation. Although many studies of the resource utilization of BTs were conducted to address this challenge, there is still a lack of efforts to systematically …

 — [3] [4][5] As a result, high-silica bauxite, in which reactive silica is above ∼8%, cannot be economically processed by the conventional Bayer process. 2 With the increase of alumina production ...

 — The Bayer process is the main method of alumina production worldwide. The use of low-quality bauxites for alumina production results in the formation of a significant amount of technogenic waste—bauxite residue (BR). The Bayer reductive method is one possible way to eliminate BR stockpiling, but it requires high-pressure leaching at …
