The bauxite should not contain more than 5% of reactive silica, total alumina content more than 42% and Fe should be less than 15% to make economical viability of the process. As the high grade ore availability becomes the problem, low grade ore is needed to beneficiate to meet the requisite specification of the alumina industry.
Typically, depending on the type of bauxite used, 1 t of alumina results in the generation of residues varying from 0.3 t for high grade to 2.5 t for very low-grade bauxite [9, 10]. Bauxite deposits occur in at least 50 countries, with estimated world reserves of approximately 30 billion tons.
