The process for mining bauxite is not complex. Unlike ores from base metals, the grade of most bauxite found through mining is acceptable. Bauxites of Brazil, South-East Asia, as well as some types found in Australia and China, need up-grading from the crude ore. This is achieved by washing and screening, and then the super-fine fractions ...
