Bauxite is a naturally occurring, heterogeneous material composed primarily of one or more aluminum hydroxide minerals, plus various mixtures of silica, iron oxide, titania, aluminosilicate, and other impurities in minor or trace amounts.
Application
Aluminium is a product of increasing importance for manufacturing because of its light weight, strength and durability as well as its capacity to be recycled. On a life cycle assessment basis, the high strength to weight ratio of aluminium results in significant fuel savings, particularly where substitution can be made for heavier construction materials.
Features
