Beneficiation and mineral processing of bauxite and feldspar. Bauxite is a sedimentary rock that is rich in alumina, the base for making aluminum. It is generally easy to mine because it is found near the surface of terrain. However, the process for separating the alumina from the other base elements in bauxite can be environmentally unfriendly.
Description. Feldspars are a group of rock-forming tectosilicate minerals which make up as much as 60% of the Earth's crust. Feldspars crystallize from magma in both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks, as veins, and are also present in many types of metamorphic rock. Rock formed almost entirely of calcic plagioclase feldspar is known as ...

Most pegmatites have a composition that is similar to granite with abundant quartz, feldspar, and mica. These are sometimes called "granite pegmatites" to indicate their mineralogical composition. However, compositions such as "gabbro pegmatite," "syenite pegmatite," and any other plutonic rock name combined with "pegmatite" are possible.

In most geological categories of granitic pegmatites, the feldspar minerals crystallize under conditions of disequilibrium fractionation facilitated by increasing concentration of some or all of H 2 O,F,B,P, and Li. This departure from cotectic-to-eutectic or peritectic termination of ordinary granitic crystallization generates zoning in textures and feldspar assemblages, controlled by …
