Bauxite
Bauxite
Bauxite ore is the world’s main source of aluminum. Bauxite is a rock formed from a reddish clay material called laterite soil and is most commonly found in tropical or subtropical regions. Bauxite is primarily comprised of aluminum oxide compounds (alumina), silica, iron oxides and titanium dioxide. Whether for the refractory industry or metallurgy – we offer raw bauxite in various qualities and preparations.
