limestone, sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), usually in the form of calcite or aragonite. It may contain considerable amounts of magnesium carbonate (dolomite) as well; minor constituents also commonly present include clay, iron carbonate, feldspar, pyrite, and quartz. Most limestones have a granular texture. Their constituent grains range in size from 0.001 mm (0. ...

The most common process for making alumina from bauxite is the Bayer process, which was first discovered over 100 years ago but is still in wide use today. About 90% of alumina refineries in the world use the Bayer process. It's very efficient but it can only be used on high quality bauxite with fairly low content of admixtures, especially silicon.

The stone should be as small as possible, but not so small that the bed compacts and seals itself. Jacobs reported that a limestone bed five feet deep and a flow rate of 0.5 to 1 gpm/sq. ft. successfully treated a 50,000 mg/l acidity solution. For more dilute solutions, higher flow rates and shallower beds can be used.
