Gravity beneficiation of low quality gibbsite-kaolinite bauxite
The simplest method of beneficiation is washing the finely dispersed clay fraction, which gives the best results when processing low-quality gibbsite-kaolinite bauxites [ 8]. These are characterized by the presence of two groups of bauxite rocks, contrasting in quality and physical and mechanical properties.
