Bauxite is a sedimentary rock mineral that is the primary source of aluminum. It is formed through the weathering of aluminum-rich rocks in tropical and subtropical regions. The name bauxite is derived from the French village of Les Baux, where it was first discovered in 1821 by geologist Pierre Berthier. Bauxite is typically found in layers …

As Table 1 shows, the high silica–alumina ratio of the OBDC means that the supporting component alumina, which hinders the deformation of the sample, is of lower content, and the silica as a network generator is of high amount, so the more it tends to form fusible silica-aluminates, reducing the melting point of the raw material system.
