This research uses geophysical techniques such as magnetic and electrical resistivity tomography to image the lateritic bauxite bearing zones in Orin Ekiti, Southwestern Nigeria. The high-resolution aeromagnetic data were utilized for generating the total magnetic intensity (TMI) map. See more
Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. The first step in producing aluminum is to crush the bauxite and purify it using the Bayer Process. In the Bayer Process, the bauxite is washed in a hot solution of sodium hydroxide, which leaches aluminum from the bauxite. The aluminum is precipitated out of solution in the form of aluminum hydroxide ...

Bauxite Imports in Nigeria. In 2022, imports of bauxite into Nigeria dropped remarkably to 621 tons, with a decrease of -35.6% on 2021. Over the period under review, imports faced a precipitous setback. The growth pace was the most rapid in 2021 when imports increased by 246%. In value terms, bauxite imports fell dramatically to $346K in 2022.

Di˜erent ˚ltering techniques such as Euler deconvolution and total horizontal derivative were also carried out to enhance better understanding of bauxite deposit, with the genera-
Bing-Kun (2009) applied the Induced Polarization (IP) sounding and high density resistivity methods to prospect for concealed bauxite deposits. In Nigeria, Talabi et al., (2013) adopted the Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) technique of the electrical resistivity method to investigate the possible occurrence of bauxite at Orin-Ekiti ...
Apart from bauxite production in Guinea, Africa plays a significant part in the global aluminum industry mainly by providing energy and labor for smelters in Mozambique, South Africa, Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria, and Ghana (see Tables 1.1 and 1.2 and Fig. 1.5). Because of their high demand for energy, these smelters have a considerable …

Bauxite is a sedimentary rock mineral that is the primary source of aluminum. It is formed through the weathering of aluminum-rich rocks in tropical and subtropical regions. The name bauxite is derived from the French village of Les Baux, where it was first discovered in 1821 by geologist Pierre Berthier. Bauxite is typically found in layers …

Bauxite (Aluminium) Colour: Shades of brown, red-brown, and yellow-brown. Name: After the locality at Baux (or Beaux), near St. Reny, Bouches-du-Rhône, France. Predominantly hydrated aluminium oxides with iron oxides, kaolinite and other impurities; almost always a residual soil rather than a sediment. Note that iron-rich sediments are covered ...
Bauxites are normally formed from underlying aluminosilicate rocks as a result of tropical weathering. In our previous 2 papers, we presented the Geology, possible host, mineralogy, and geochemistry of the bauxites of Mambila Plateau, NE Nigeria. The bauxite was formed from residual chemical weathering of trachyte and occurs as a …

Bauxite is a mixture of minerals which contain, as well as impurities, different concentrations of hydrated aluminium oxides. Gibbsite (alumina trihydrate), boehmite, and diaspore (alumina monohydrates) are the main ore minerals. Bauxite is a high-aluminium-content rock. That is the main ore that aluminium is mined from.
