Abstract: In a Chongqing high sulfur bauxite,the main aluminum-containing mineral is diaspore,sulfur-containing mineral is pyrite and the ratio of Al-Si is only 4.73%. The technical conditioning tests on sulfur removal,silicon decrease and aluminum increase were made. The results show that bauxite concentrate with Al2O3 grade of 65.81%,S giade of 0.42%,Al-Si ratio of 9.09,and Al2O3 recovery of 77.88% was ultimately obtained by the flow-sheet processes of one roughing floatation for sulfur concentration,two roughings,three cleanings and one scavenging and middles back to the flow-sheet in turn. The byproduct sulfur concentrate with S grade of 22.13%,S recovery of 82.69%,Al2O3content of 32.94% and the recovery rate of 5.15% was achieved.
