What products are made from bauxite?
Bauxite is the ore comprised of hydrus aluminum oxide, in one or so of its mineral forms.
A lot of Bauxite ends as metalic aluminum. Aluminum is a highly refined and man made product, it just does not occur naturally. That is, in a lump like gold or sliver.
The production of aluminum is relatively new with man. With anything so far as that goes. Aluminum production is a massive consumer of electricity and water. It is currently used for just about everything from cooking foils to housing siding, to facial and ear adornments, pots, and pans and shiny stuff in bad science fiction movies.
Bauxite in various levels of refinment is an industrial addative, and is all over the place.
