Notes
(Richard Willis)
Earth, with an analysis approaching Al2O3 61.2%, SiO2 1.8%, Fe2O3 1.9%, TiO2 2.3%; plus traces of allophane, bayerite, boehmite, corundum, diaspore, dickite, gibbsite, goethite, halloysite, hematite, magnetite, pyrite, tucanite, etc. Principal aluminum ore. In itself, a high-refractory used in mixes for kiln brick and furnit
ure. Along with glacial clays, bauxite earths are among the most complex compositions, standards do not exist in terms of what any given deposit of bauxite earth will contain. Definitions of bauxite often begin with “A principal aggregate of alumina minerals [there are more than twenty] — “ and end “ — with many significantly present impurities.”
