al 1999) The term bauxite is used to describe weathering products rich in alumina but low in alkali, alkaline earth and silica. It is composed principally of one or more hydrated aluminum minerals: gibbsite (Al2O3·3H2O), boehmite (Al2O3·3H2O) and diaspore (Al2O3·H2O) with impurities of silica, iron oxide,

The amount of bauxite that can be recovered is determined by the level of boehmite and reactive silica - the less you have, the higher the recoveries.
