Bauxite is a red clay-looking ore. It is widely made up of various Aluminium Oxides. Many industries within the Chemical industry use Bauxite. Aluminium metal production uses the most Bauxite, while only a small percentage finds its way into Flame retardants such as ATH. Using the Bayer process raw Bauxite is transformed over several stages into Aluminium Trihydrate, and several steps later Aluminium metal.
