(silica) present in the bauxite causes caustic soda loss in the Bayer process. The part of total silica which reacts with caustic soda and forms sodalite complex through sodium silicate route is termed as Reactive Silica. Thus, the non-reacting component of total silica with caustic soda is also known as Non-Reactive Silica.

Determination of Available Alumina and Reactive Silica The method for the determination of available alumina (the amount to be refined to obtain Al2O3 in the Bayer process) and reactive silica (kaolinite), consisted of bauxite digestion in alkaline medium (NaOH) under controlled pressure and temperature, simulating the Bayer process [7].

Processing bauxite with 7% reactive silica requires 0.133 Mtpa more NaOH than processing bauxite with 5% reactive silica, which is equivalent to $60 million per year at a NaOH cost of U$450 per ton.

In the belt around the equator, bauxite is commonly found. The primary aluminium bearing ore with an aluminium content of more than 35 to 40 percent is bauxite.

The relative value of these deposits depends largely upon the concentration of alumina and silica, as well as the mineralogy of these constituents.
Read more...of bauxite analyses are usually done to determine loss of ignition, and alumina, silica, iron oxide and titanium contents. But recently, the range of bauxite components considered has been extended to the contaminants, substantially influencing bauxite processing (Authier-Martin et al., 2001; UNIDO, 1985).
