Alumina is the key raw material used to produce primary aluminium. Mined bauxite ore is refined into alumina through what is known as the Bayer process. The process, discovered in 1887, extracts alumina from bauxite through crushing, dissolving it in caustic soda, filtration and an electrolytic process.

Bauxite Mining. Bauxite is used as the main raw material in the manufacture of aluminium. It is a clay mineral found in tropical and sub-tropical areas such as Australia and the West Indies. The bauxite is often mined from only a few metres below the ground level. About 4-5 tonnes of bauxites are required for 1 tonne of aluminium.

The bauxite ore contains aluminum trihydrate (Al (OH) 3 ). Alumina refining produces alumina (Al 2 O 3) from the bauxite ore, by exploiting the reversible reaction of the Bayer process 1–3 : The reaction is firstly driven in the sodium aluminate (NaAlO 2) direction by the addition of caustic soda (NaOH) to bauxite.
