SEPPE BAUXITE
25083000
▸ One of the hardest natural minerals after diamond, engineered for superior refractory and abrasive performance.
★ Al₂O₃ 75-90% ★ Refractoriness 1750℃+
★ Bulk Density 2.80-3.25 g/cm³ ★ Hardness 7.5-9.0 Mohs
▸ Calcined bauxite is produced by sintering high-grade raw bauxite at high temperatures around 1600°C. This process removes moisture and impurities, yielding a dense, hard, and chemically stable material with high alumina content. It is widely used as a refractory aggregate, abrasive media, and in ceramic formulations where thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength are critical. Its hardness is second only to diamond among natural minerals, ensuring exceptional wear resistance.
▸ Our advanced calcination process delivers consistent, high-performance bauxite:
Uniform Heat Distribution — every particle receives consistent thermal treatment, eliminating under-burned or over-burned material.
High Bulk Density — dense grain structure reduces porosity and improves wear resistance in finished refractories.
Improved Phase Stability — complete conversion to stable mullite and corundum phases ensures reliability at temperatures up to 1770°C.
Lower Variability — batch-to-batch consistency that traditional shaft kilns cannot match, critical for industrial refractory formulations.
▸ XRF Chemical Analysis — every batch tested for Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, CaO, MgO content
▸ Bulk Density Measurement — pycnometer method to verify specified density range
▸ Particle Size Distribution — laser diffraction and sieve analysis for accurate grading
▸ Magnetic Separation Inspection — removal of iron contamination to meet premium specifications
▸ Batch Traceability — full documentation from raw ore source to shipping container
