- High aluminum oxide (Al2O3) content
- Fine particle size
- Consistent quality
- Low impurity levels
Bauxite Powder is a finely ground form of bauxite ore, known for its high aluminum oxide (Al2O3) content. It is produced by crushing and grinding natural bauxite ore into a fine powder, which is then used in various industrial applications.
This versatile powder is widely used in the production of refractory products, such as high-alumina refractory bricks and castables, which are used to line furnaces and kilns in industries like steel, cement, and glass manufacturing. It is also used as a raw material in the production of alumina, which is further processed into aluminum metal.
Bauxite Powder is valued for its high purity and consistent quality, making it a preferred choice for industries requiring high-alumina content in their processes. Its properties make it ideal for use in abrasives, welding fluxes, and as a filler in various industrial applications.
Unlike the base metal ores, bauxite powder does not require complex processing because most of the Bauxite that is mined is of an acceptable grade or can be improved by a relatively simple and inexpensive process of removing clay. In many bauxites ore, clay is removed by some combination of washing, wet screening and cycloning, even by hand picking or sorting. Some important uses of Bauxite Powder are:
Parameters | High Grade Bauxite |
Aluminium Ore(Al2O3) | 55 - 60 % |
Iron Ore (Fe) | 2 - 9 % |
Silica Ore (SiO2) | 23- 4 % |
Loss on Drying | @ 105 oC 0.78 |
Loss on Ignition | @ 950oC 28.29 |
