Bauxite Production Plant,Processing of bauxite in ...
In 2006, three out of 14 plants beneficiated the bauxite at a local washing plant and two operations dried its bauxite before shipping. After mining, the bauxite is refined into alumina using the Bayer process (refining). The majority of the alumina is then transformed into aluminium using the Hall/Heroult electrolytic process (smelting).
