1. It is actually a rock composed of aluminum hydroxides of mostly Bohmite, Gibbsite and Diaspore

2. 28 Thermal analysis implies that the bauxite samples are of 2 obvious endothermic peaks, which are gibbsite and diaspore endothermic peak.

3. Böhmite (γ-AlO (OH)), frequently written Boehmite, has an orthorhombic structure (space group Amam); diaspore (α-AlO (OH)) is a dimorph

4. Bauxites are residually enriched rocks, mostly composed of Al-hydroxides (gibbsite, boehmite and diaspore), kaolinite, Fe-oxy-hydroxides and Ti-oxides, which form from intense lateritic weathering of aluminosilicate protoliths

5. The principal minerals in Bauxite are gibbsite (Al 2 O 3.3H 2 O), boehmite (Al 2 O 3.H 2 O) and diaspore, which has the same composition as boehmite, but is denser and harder.

6. Bauxite is not a mineral, but rather a group of aluminum oxide s. The term is generally used to describe the economically important mixture of these minerals, which form a mass of the individually classified members of Gibbsite, Boehmite, and Diaspore.
