3.1 Introduction to Crushing and Grinding of Bauxite. The most common initial process step to feed an alumina refinery with bauxite is the crushing or sizing of the raw bauxite material that is extracted from the mine. The feed material is crushed or sized so that it is conveyable, as well as correctly dimensioned, for the next step in the process.
Keeping the above characteristics in view, several west coast lateritic bauxite mines of India employ dry crushing−screening process to bring down silica content from the metallurgical grade bauxite [].Recently, a bauxite mine of Guinea known as AGB2A has also adopted the dry beneficiation procedure to cut down silica from about 7% to below …

Bauxite is a residual deposit formed by atmospheric agents from rocks containing aluminium. In tropical conditions, it contains hydrated alumina, iron and titanium oxides, and small amounts of silica. Limestone and bauxite are the raw materials for high alumina cement. HA Cement contains 40% Al and lime each and 15 % iron oxides.

Each type of bauxite ore presents its own challenges in terms of mineral processing and beneficiation for the generation of alumina [7,8]. Normally, the beneficiation or treatment of bauxite is limited to crushing, sieving, washing, and drying of the crude ore [3]. Flotation has been employed for the upgrading of certain low-grade bauxite ores,
