Examples of bauxite
bauxite
At smelters worldwide, raw bauxite and petroleum coke are purified into alumina.

Bauxite is also mined around the Demerara, and Linden is a major export centre.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Lead and zinc are available, and bauxite resources are thought to be plentiful.

Alumina is a powder refined from bauxite ore that's processed into aluminum metal.

Alumina is an ore refined from bauxite that is further processed to make aluminum.

Most of Guyana's reserves of bauxite, gold, and diamonds are found in this region.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A railway service was once operated in Linden for the movement of bauxite ore.

Internal barge transport is important for bauxite, sugar, rice and aggregates.

Production of bauxite, traditionally the principal mining product, ceased in 1992.

- A clay-like mineral; the chief ore of aluminum; composed of aluminum oxides and aluminum hydroxides; used as an abrasive and catalyst
- (bauxitic) resembling or containing bauxite
- Bauxite, an aluminium ore, is the world's main source of aluminium. It consists mostly of the minerals gibbsite (Al(OH)3), boehmite (u03B3-AlO(OH)) and diaspore (u03B1-AlO(OH)), mixed with the two iron oxides goethite and haematite, the clay mineral kaolinite and small amounts of anatase (TiO2) and ilmenite (FeTiO3 or FeO.TiO2)...
- A rock in which aluminum is found in high concentrations.
- A naturally occurring rock with one or more minerals containing aluminium, oxygen and hydrogen. Globally, most bauxite is used to produce alumina, which is used to produce aluminium. For more information see Aluminium (Geoscience Australia).
- One of the ores from which alumina is extracted and from which aluminum is eventually smelted. Bauxite usually contains at least 45 percent aluminum oxide, and the best grades have a low silica content. About 4 pounds of bauxite is required to produce 1 pound of aluminum.
- The raw material mined from the earth used to make aluminum.
- The only commercial ore of aluminum, corresponding essentially to the formula Al2O3xH2O.
- A sedimentary rock that consists principality of one or more hydrates of alumina (diaspore, gibbsite, boehmite), and that may also contain clay minerals and hydrated iron oxides.
