The Bayer process: How alumina is produced from bauxite. The Bayer process is carried out in four steps. First, after the bauxite is crushed, washed and dried, it is dissolved with caustic soda at high temperatures. Next, the mixture is filtered to remove the impurities, called "red mud," which is properly discarded.
