Bauxite an overview ScienceDirect Topics
The equilibrium solution pH and composition (24 h after bauxite addition) are reported in Table 12.4.India bauxite had a significantly higher equilibrium pH (pH 8.1 ± 0.1), compared to Guinea, Ghana, and USA bauxites (pH 6.6 ± 0.1, 6.5 ± 0.1, and 6.2 ± 0.4 respectively), which coincided with substantially higher concentrations of Ca and inorganic carbon (334 ± 2 μM Ca and 398 ± 9 μM C
