Jan 24 2019 · Bauxite tailings are produced during the Bayer Process which is the most commonly used method of refining bauxite to aluminum oxide. Estimates indicated that roughly 95 of the aluminum oxide produced in the world was made through the Bayer Process. After the bauxite ore is extracted from mines it is taken to a plant where it is refined.
