Bauxite
Approximately 85% of the world's bauxite production is metallurgical bauxite and the alumina is extracted from the bauxite in a refinery using a wet chemical caustic soda leach process known as the Bayer process. The alumina is then converted to aluminium metal via electrolysis in a smelter using the energy-intensive Hall-Heroult process.
Bauxite
Bauxite deposits form close to the surface. Hence, all the mines in the world are open pit. About 8-14 tons of bauxite is needed to produce one ton of aluminum 1. So the ore of aluminum needs to be fairly rich in this metal to be worth mining. Aluminum is extracted solely from bauxite, but that does not mean that there are no alternatives.
