Mining and Refining – Water Management
All of this water can be treated and then reused. Recognising that water is a precious resource, companies are investing in sustainable water management programmes, including increased use of recycled water, although non-recycled resources are still essential for some stages of the refining process.

Bauxite - an overview ScienceDirect Topics
Bauxite (Fig. 1.33) is formed by surface weathering of clay rocks around the tropical region and composer of aluminum oxide (Al(OH) 3).It contains 15%–25% aluminum and only ore used for commercial extraction for aluminum. The bauxite occurs as near-surface layers and usually mixed with clay minerals, iron oxide, and titanium dioxide.

Use of Bauxite Residue ( Red Mud ) as CO 2
The large amount of bauxite residue (red mud) -a highly alkaline by-product of the Bayer process of refining bauxite into aluminahas a relevant environmental impact and poses a challenge to the aluminum industry. In particular, the high alkalinity (pH~13) of red mud can cause adverse environmental consequences if no treatment is applied before final disposal.

Extraction of Aluminium From Bauxite, Bayer's Hall's
2021-12-21 The Bayer Process, developed by Carl Josef Bayer. is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide). In this process, aluminium ore is treated with concentrated sodium hydroxide to form a soluble sodium aluminate. Sodium aluminate is filtered, and the filtrate on heating with water gives aluminium hydroxide.
