Bauxite

Bauxite ore bụ isi iyi aluminom dị n'ụwa. A ga-ebu ụzọ hazie ọla ahụ na kemịkalụ iji mepụta alumina (aluminom oxide). A na-agbazekwa alumina site na iji usoro electrolysis iji mepụta ọla aluminom dị ọcha. A na-ahụkarị Bauxite n'elu ala dị na mpaghara okpomọkụ na ebe okpomọkụ dị iche iche. A na-enweta ọla ahụ site n'ọrụ ngwupụta ihe na gburugburu ebe obibi. Ebe nchekwa Bauxite dị ukwuu n'Africa, Oceania na South America. Atụmatụ na nchekwa ga-adịru ọtụtụ narị afọ.

  Vietnam nwere ike ijide akụ bauxite. Na Nọvemba 2010, praịm minista Vietnam mara ọkwa na nchekwa bauxite nke obodo nwere ike ịgbakọta ruru ijeri ijeri iri na otu.

Bauxite 101

Bauxite ore bụ isi iyi aluminom n'ụwa

Bauxite bụ okwute sitere na ihe ụrọ na-acha ọbara ọbara a na-akpọ ala laterite ma bụrụ nke a na-ahụkarị na mpaghara okpomọkụ ma ọ bụ ebe okpomọkụ. Bauxite bụ isi ihe mejupụtara ogige aluminom oxide (alumina), silica, iron oxides na titanium dioxide. Ihe dị ka pasent 70 nke mmepụta bauxite n'ụwa ka a na-anụcha site na usoro kemịkalụ Bayer ka ọ bụrụ alumina. A na-anụcha alumina ka ọ bụrụ ọla aluminom dị ọcha site na usoro electrolytic Hall-Héroult.

Ngwuputa bauxite

A na-ahụkarị Bauxite n'akụkụ elu ala ma nwee ike ịgbapụta akụ na ụba. Ụlọ ọrụ ahụ ewerela ọrụ nduzi na mbọ nchekwa gburugburu ebe obibi. Mgbe a na-ekpochapụ ala ahụ tupu a na-egwupụta ihe, a na-echekwa elu ala ka e wee dochie ya n'oge nhazigharị. N'oge a na-egwupụta ihe na-egwupụta ihe, a na-agbaji bauxite ma wepụ ya n'ebe a na-egwupụta ihe n'ụlọ ọrụ alumina. Ozugbo ngwungwu gwuchara, a na-edochi ala dị n'elu na mpaghara ahụ na-eme usoro mweghachi. Mgbe a na-egwupụta ọla n'ime ọhịa, nkezi nke pasent 80 nke ala a na-eweghachite n'usoro gburugburu ebe obibi ya.

A na-egwupụta ihe karịrị nde metrik tọn 160 nke bauxite kwa afọ. Ndị isi na mmepụta bauxite gụnyere Australia, China, Brazil, India na Guinea. A na-eche na nchekwa Bauxite dị ijeri metric ton 55 ruo 75, bụ nke gbasaa n'Africa (pasent 32), Oceania (pasent 23), South America na Caribbean (pasent 21) na Asia (pasent 18).
