Raw Materials Aluminum compounds occur in all types of clay, but the ore that is most useful for producing pure aluminum is bauxite. Bauxite consists of 45-60% aluminum oxide, along with various impurities such as sand, iron, and other metals. Although some bauxite deposits are hard rock, most consist of relatively soft dirt that is easily dug from open-pit mines. …

Around 70% of bauxite ore in the world adopts Bayer process to produce alumina. Then by Hall-Héroult electronic process, alumina can be reduced to pure aluminum.
view moreBauxite is a natural ore containing one or more aluminum hydroxide minerals with trace amounts of impurities such as silica, iron oxide, titania, aluminosilicate, and others. The most typical locations for the reddish clay-based rock bauxite are in tropical and subtropical areas. Bauxite ore is refined to produce alumina (Al₂O₃).
view moreStep 1- Bauxite Mining. The first step in the production of aluminum is the extraction of bauxites from the ground. Bauxites are the most common raw material in aluminum production. They are mainly made up of aluminum oxide mixed with some other minerals. If the bauxite contains more than 50% aluminum oxide, it's considered as high quality.
