The Bayer process is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide) and was developed by Carl Josef Bayer. Bauxite, the most important ore of aluminium, contains only 3060% aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), the rest being a mixture of silica, various iron oxides, and titanium dioxide. [1]
