Bauxite, mixture of hydrated aluminum oxides usually contains oxides of Iron and Silicon in varying quantities. A non crystalline substance formerly thought to be a mineral; Bauxite is claylike and earthy and ranges in color from white to deep brown or red according to the nature and quantity, it can be calcined in shaft kiln, rotary kiln and round kiln with different specification.

LAVA Bauxite is produced by American technology in CHINA from the best input raw materials.

It is typical for its  high gritting density 3,5 g/cm3 and very good heat resistance. It is homogenized bauxite, which is suitable for production of quality refractory materials.

The majority of global mined bauxite ore is used in the production of aluminium metals, however refractory bauxite is the ore calcined at 1600 – 1650oC, which produces a dense, high purity stable aggregate. Refractory grade bauxite has a high Alumina content and a very low alkalis content with low impurities (iron oxide and Titania specifically) ensuring stable temperature strength.

Refractory grade bauxite has high refractoriness, good mechanical strength and moderate slag resistance.  Bauxite in the refractory industry is typically used in ladle working lining, tundish furniture, Delta sections, general purpose repair, aluminium melting furnace and mineral processing.
