Abstract. Bauxite residue (BR) is the solid waste generated from the Bayer process during alumina production from bauxite ore. It can be considered a secondary source of several base metals, but also critical metals such as rare earth elements (REEs). Hydrometallurgical methods have been mainly employed to extract REEs from BR.
This Chapter provides an introduction to the Bayer process and how the mineral composition of bauxites affects the process variants and the principal …

Bauxite residue (BR) is a caustic red-colored by-product of the Bayer process for alumina (Al 2 O 3) extraction from bauxite ore, generated in a proportion ranging from 0.8 to 1.5 (alumina: BR). BR may have distinguished particle's size distribution varying from sand (+100 μm) to fine particles (−150 μm) depending on the bauxite origins.
Bauxite contains 40-60% hydrated aluminium oxide mixed with silica and iron oxide. It is the latter that gives bauxite its characteristic red colour. The name "bauxite" comes from the village of Les Baux-de-Provence in Bouches-du-Rhône (France), where the mineralogist Pierre Berthier first analysed the ore in 1821.

An electrical current is run through the mixture, causing the carbon from the carbon anode to attach to the oxygen component in the alumina, yielding aluminum and carbon dioxide: 2 Al2O3 + 3 C > 4 Al + 3 CO2. This process takes place at temperatures between 940-980º C and yields an aluminum of high purity.
Bauxite is a mineral that contains varying amounts of combined water and several impurities of which ferric oxide and silica are usually predominant. It is found in a belt around the equator and is generally extracted by open-cast mining. Before mining can commence the land needs to be cleared of timber and vegetation.
