Calcined bauxite manufacturing process
Calcined bauxite is produced by sintering/calcining of low iron, low alkali containing raw bauxites at temperatures of 1600 – 1800 degree Celsius in rotary, round, or shaft kilns. In this calcination process, the high refractory mineral phases corundum and mullite are formed. This process of calcining (heating) bauxite in kilns removes moisture and gives Calcined
