UPGRADING OF TAYANS CRUDE BAUXITE USING ROTARY DRUM
mina content increased from 48% Al 2O3 in crude bauxite to 55% Al2O3 in washed bauxite. On the other hand, reactive silica content decreased from 10% SiO2 to 3% SiO2. To continue this research, it is necessary to conduct crude bauxite washing process with RDS (Rotary Drum Scrubber) which could be operated continuously instead of batch method.
