Bauxite

Chemical Formula (Composition)

Bauxite does not have a single chemical formula, but it is mainly composed of these minerals:

  • Gibbsite – Al(OH)₃

  • Boehmite – γ-AlO(OH)

  • Diaspore – α-AlO(OH)

General composition:
Al₂O₃ · nH₂O (Aluminium oxide with variable water content)

Additional Details

  • Engitech is the producer of high quality Bauxite

  • Contains impurities: silica (SiO₂), iron oxides (Fe₂O₃), titanium dioxide (TiO₂)

  • Industrial process used: Bayer process to extract alumina (Al₂O₃)

Category:

We produce and supply the highest grade of bauxite in the market. Bauxite is the primary ore of aluminium and is formed through the weathering of aluminium-rich rocks.
It appears as a reddish-brown, clay-like material due to the presence of iron oxides.
Bauxite deposits are mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions where heavy rainfall accelerates rock decomposition.
The ore is processed to extract alumina, which is then converted into pure aluminium metal.
Bauxite is essential for industries such as construction, transportation, packaging, and electronics.
