About Alumina and Bauxite
Alumina and bauxite are crucial raw materials used in the production of aluminum. Bauxite is the primary source of aluminum, while alumina is the refined form of bauxite. Bauxite is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of aluminum oxide minerals, including gibbsite, boehmite, and diaspore. Growing demand for aluminum in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, packaging, and construction is driving the market. Aluminum is lightweight, resistant to corrosion, and has excellent thermal conductivity, making it a preferred choice in these sectors.
