This category of the platform introduces bauxite ore suppliers. Bauxite ore is a widespread rock mainly composed of aluminium hydroxide minerals. On the platform the companies provides various grades and types of the bauxite ore including raw bauxite and calcined bauxite.
The most valuable element of bauxite is aluminium oxide (Al2O3.) The quality and grade of bauxite as aluminium ore depends on the content of alumina in terms of dry matter. The highest grade reaches 90% of AL203.
About 90% of the world's bauxite reserves are placed in tropical countries. In 2017, the world manufacturing of bauxite ore was up 300,000 tons including Australia (83,000 tons), China (68,000 tons), Guinea (45,000 tons) as well as Brazil (36,000 tones) and India (19,000 tons).
The majority of suppliers give an average price of $ 150 - 500 per ton of bauxite ore. The minimum order starts with 1 ton. The ore is supplied in lumps and fines depending on your needs and packed in bags (25/50 kg, 500 kg or 1/1.2 ton each.) The majority of providers are from Chine. Besides, you can find South African, Indian and other suppliers.
Obtained from bauxite ore aluminium oxide Al2O3 is used as a moulding material and metallurgical flux. Alumina refractories are highly resistant to thermal and mechanical loads.
Melting bauxite in electric furnaces allows you to get the so-called electro corundum used as an industrial abrasive. The metal compounds extracted of the bauxite ore provide the raw material for the pigments production. The absorptive properties of finely milled alumina are used for creating oil spill cleaners. The aluminous types of cement solutions harden quickly. They are resistant to liquid acidic media and high temperatures.
The companies using bauxite ore for their activities can find the quality product at an acceptable price on the platform.
