MINERALOGY: One of the most abundant elements in the earth crust which forms more than 7%, is a rock composed of aluminum oxides and hydrated iron, which usually has earthy, clay or pisolítico appearance and colors of off-white the brown, with darker areas. It is the only ore, commercial aluminum. Its chemical composition is variable in the detail, and we define its industrial quality. Including their terms Al2O3 / SiO2 and Fe2O3 content and allow your detailed commercial classification.


MYTHOLOGY: It was discovered in the early nineteenth century. There are numerous deposits of bauxite, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, as well as in Europe. Bauxite, which is usually presented as a mixture of Gibbsite and is also known as boehmite, is the raw material from which alumina processing this aluminum is obtained.
