Bauxite is first purified to produce aluminium oxide, Al 2 O 3. Aluminium oxide is then dissolved in molten cryolite. This is because aluminium oxide has a melting point of over 2000°C which would use a lot of energy and be very expensive. The resulting mixture has a lower melting point without interfering with the reaction.

Aluminum is extracted from aluminum oxide by a process called electrolysis. First of all, aluminum oxide needs to be in molten form to extract the aluminum ions. Aluminum oxide, however, has a high melting point. Therefore, aluminum oxide is dissolved in molten cryolite. Cryolite is a form of an aluminum compound that has a lower melting point ...

Bauxite is a sedimentary rock mineral that is the primary source of aluminum. It is formed through the weathering of aluminum-rich rocks in tropical and subtropical regions. The name bauxite is derived from the French village of Les Baux, where it was first discovered in 1821 by geologist Pierre Berthier. Bauxite is typically found in layers …

The ultimate product of calcination is the most stable phase of alumina, corundum or -alumina. This is, however, not desirable for smelting, because -alumina is slow to dissolve in the bath (refer to Section 24). For the formation of Smelting Grade Alumina (SGA), calcination is carried out at around 950°C.

Bauxite is a mixture of minerals which contain, as well as impurities, different concentrations of hydrated aluminium oxides. Gibbsite (alumina trihydrate), boehmite, and diaspore (alumina monohydrates) are the main ore minerals. Bauxite is a high-aluminium-content rock. That is the main ore that aluminium is mined from.
