Bauxite residues from alumina production are available at a multi‐million tonnes scale worldwide. So far, attempts have been made to find alternative re‐use applications for bauxite residues, for instance in cement / pig iron production. However, bauxite residues also constitute an untapped secondary source of CRMs.

Processing of bauxite for smelter grade alumina is quite sensitive to bauxite recovery and total cost for processing of ore, particularly in wet beneficiation. On the other hand, owing to homogeneous nature and consistent quality, some alumina refineries prefer washed ore compared to simple crushed run-of-mine (ROM) bauxite.
