Goods (Uses of Bauxite in Percentage)• 85% used to produce alumina for refining
into aluminum metal.• 10% used to produced alumina which is
used in chemical, abrasive, and refractory products.
• 5% used to make abrasives, refractory materials, and aluminum compounds.
• The lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance are important considerations in it use. Metallic aluminum is used in transportation, and packaging.
