Abstract
It is shown in this paper that the main bauxite deposits in China are located in such central and south-west provinces as Shanxi, Henan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces etc. The chemical and mineralogical composition of various Chinese bauxites is reviewed to present the characteristics of the Chinese bauxites, which have great influences on the alumina production process. Key technology and equipment applied in China are also presented.
