Abundant bauxite deposits formed in the Tethyan Metallogenic Domain are of great importance to bauxite research. However, previous studies generally focus on local bauxite occurrences formed over certain geologic time. A comprehensive understanding of the genesis and characteristics of bauxite deposits is hence essential.
The bauxite ore in the middle part shows earthy and compact structure and clastic, oolitic, pisolitic texture, a white coloration (Fig. 7 B) and is mainly composed of diaspore with minor anatase (Fig. 5 B) The YFB, bauxite (sample YFB 01-4) developed …
The present study focuses on the geochemistry and occurrence of REY (rare earth elements and yttrium)-bearing minerals in the Late Cretaceous karst bauxite deposits in the central part of the Zagros Simply Fold Belt (ZSFB), SW Iran. The ore bodies comprise a series of individual pods and/or contiguous lenses that occur as infills of deep karst …

Based on ore genesis, bauxite is divided into two types, lateritic type and karst type. The former is mainly distributed in western Africa, north South America, India, Southeast Asia, northern and southwestern Australia, while the latter primarily occurs in southern Europe, Caribbean region, western Asia and China.
The genesis of ore minerals in karst bauxite has been well-studied (e.g., Bárdossy and Aleva 1990; Bogatyrev et al. 2009; Wang et al. 2012; Liu et al. 2013, 2017; Gu et al. 2013; Zhang et al. 2013, 2021; Mongelli et al. 2016, 2017), and we review our findings in the context of this knowledge. The critical metals examined herein also …
All these processes can make it more difficult to understand the original controls of bauxite ore formation and to carry out effective regional exploration for hidden bauxite deposits. ... In the present work, we have utilized this new, integrated approach to study the fundamental controls on the genesis of the karst-type bauxite deposits in ...
The genesis of the REE minerals, together with the occurrence of other minerals, indicates that intensively acidic and oxidizing conditions developed before the formation of the Permian bauxite ore. Towards the end of the Permian, the conditions became reducing and alkaline, favorable for the large-scale bauxitization.
The Lijiatian bauxite deposit is the largest deposit in Hunan Province, with a total Al resources exceeding 7 × 10 6 tons. The ore-bearing strata in the lower Permian Liangshan Formation (ca. 275 Ma) are comprised a 3–5-m-thick bauxite layer (bauxite ore/clay) and an underlying 4–8-m-thick Fe layer (Fe ore/Fe-rich clay).
The Balaya bauxite plateau is located in the Kindia bauxite province; where the bauxite ores are found above Ordovician and Silurian formations in the southern part of the Guinean Paleozoic Bove Basin, West African Craton.In this study, petrographical, mineralogical and geochemical investigations were carried out on the different type of …

1. Introduction. Bauxites are residual aluminum deposits, derived from lateritic weathering of pre-existing alumosilicate rocks under tropical and/or subtropical climatic conditions, characterized by annual precipitation rates of 1,200 mm and annual temperatures above 22 °C (Bárdossy, 1982).Bauxite is the main aluminum ore and also …
During the epigenetic alteration of boehmitic karstic bauxite in the Vlasenica region of Yugoslavia, which was caused by siliceous water descending through the deposit by means of cracks, fissures, etc., oolites were less altered compared with the coexisting matrix material, which was intensely kaolinized. The following zonal alteration pattern of the …
The Pingguo bauxite contains three distinct layers: a lower layer dominated by ferric clay or weathered iron ore, a middle layer of cryptocrystalline and oolitic bauxite ore, and an upper layer ...
The comparison between Al and Si values is a benchmark for the economics of bauxite mines. Gibbsite is the major mineral in the bauxite ore, while hematite, goethite, kaolinite, and quartz are the accessory minerals. The deposit is recognized as Low-Fe bauxite due to comparing Al2O3, Fe2O3, and Si2O3 concentrations.
The bauxite and clay deposits of Western Henan, located in the southern part of the North China Craton (NCC), are rich reserves of bauxite ore, and the provenance of this bauxite has received much attention.
Compared to the bauxite ore, the genesis of the entire aluminous-bearing strata has received less attention. In this study, we conducted geological, mineralogical, and geochemical analyses on core samples from the aluminous-bearing strata located in Xingxian area, situated within the northern NCC, aiming to elucidate the genetic process …
