Annual production of bauxite in the United States, 1900-2013. Bauxite mining in the United States produced an estimated 128,000 metric tonnes of bauxite in 2013. [1] Although the United States was an important source of bauxite in the early 20th century, it now supplies less than one percent of world bauxite production.

The Bayer process is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide) and was developed by Carl Josef Bayer.Bauxite, the most important ore of aluminium, contains only 30–60% aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3), the rest being a mixture of silica, various iron oxides, and titanium dioxide.

Making a ton of primary aluminum consumes at least 12,500 kW-hr, and most plants consume 14,500 to 15,000 kW-hr per ton of primary aluminum. [18] Secondary production of a given unit of aluminum requires about 10% of the electricity of primary production. The United States mined production of bauxite for primary aluminum production is ...
Bauxite is a raw material used primarily in the production of aluminium. The bauxite ore is refined into alumina before being smelted into aluminium. [3] Australia is known for its high-grade ore, especially in the Weipa and Gove deposits. [2] The quality of bauxite ore is determined by its available alumina (Al 2 O 3) content.
