Thus, the contents of Al and Ti, which are mainly sourced from the continental basement, should be relatively stable during the whole formation process of bauxite. This is confirmed by the high correlation between Al and Ti in most bauxite deposits (, Ellahi et al., 2016; Mameli et al., 2007; Xiong et al., 2021; Yang, Huang, et al., 2019).

The term «bauxite» was introduced by Berthier (1821) and refers to rock samples belonging to the laterite type. Lateritic bauxites have been studied by many, mainly by prospection and exploration geologists, and by geologists, soil scientists and geomorphologists interested in the mechanisms of bauxite formation and evolution.

Bauxites are residually enriched rocks, mostly composed of Alhydroxides (gibbsite, boehmite and diaspore), kaolinite, Feoxyhydroxides and Tioxides, which form from intense lateritic weathering of aluminosilicate protoliths. Lateritic weathering and bauxite formation are generally favored by largely humid, tropical and subtropical climates.

The ore is first converted into pure aluminum oxide by the Bayer Process, and this is then electrolyzed in solution in molten cryolite another aluminum compound. The aluminum oxide has too high a melting point to electrolyse on its own. The usual aluminum ore is bauxite. Bauxite is essentially an impure aluminum oxide.

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, Al (OH) 3. The aluminum hydroxide is then calcined to form alumina, Al 2 O 3. Aluminum is smelted from the alumina using the HallHeroult Process.
