For which metal is Bauxite exploited from the earth?

For which metal is Bauxite exploited from the earth? Correct Answer Aluminium

The correct answer is Aluminium.

Key Points

  • Bauxite
    • It is a sedimentary rock with a relatively high aluminum content.
    • It is a rock formed from a reddish clay material called laterite soil.
    • It is primarily comprised of aluminum oxide compounds (alumina), silica, iron oxides, and titanium dioxide.
    • In 1821, the French geologist Pierre Berthier discovered bauxite near the village of Les Baux in Provence, southern France.
    • The ore must first be chemically processed to produce alumina (aluminum oxide).
    • Alumina is then smelted using an electrolysis process to produce pure aluminum metal.
    • Bauxites are typically classified according to their intended commercial application:  abrasive, cement, chemical, metallurgical, refractory, etc.
