PT ANTAM Tbk Bauxite
Bauxite, the raw material for the production of alumina, was first discovered in 1924 at Kijang, Bintan Island, in the province of Riau, in northwestern Indonesia. Bauxite from Bintan Island has been mined and exported since 1935. In 1968 ANTAM acquired the mine. Thus, ANTAM is Indonesia's longest running producer of bauxite.An acid leaching process can also be employed on physically beneficiated bauxite to lower the iron content to the level of 2–3% Fe2O3. ncrease in alumina and reduction in silica during wetBauxite Beneficiation: An Approach to Value Addition in

Vedanta Aluminium patents innovative breakthrough in bauxite
The process reduces bauxite residue by a remarkable 30% by eliminating iron values while simultaneously recovering a higher alumina yield, reducing the total organic content from bauxite during the alumina refining. The process significantly enhances resource efficiency and curbs energy consumption during refining.As the minerals are weathered they gradually breakdown into various forms of hydrated aluminum oxide, Al 2 O 3 .xH 2 O, known as bauxite. The bauxite is purified by the Bayer Process. First the ore is mixed with a hot concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide. The NaOH will dissolve the oxides of aluminum and silicon but not other impuritiesCase Study: Conversion of Bauxite Ore to Aluminum Metal
