How are aluminum ingots formed?
The production of aluminum ingots consists of production links such as bauxite mining, alumina production, and aluminum electrolysis. 1. There are three main types of bauxite for the production of alumina: gibbsite, diaspore, and boehmite. Among the proven global reserves of bauxite, 92% are weathered laterite-type bauxite, which belongs to the gibbsite type. These bauxites are characterized by low silicon, high iron, and high aluminum-to-silicon ratio, and are concentrated in … Read more
