[After Les Baux, a commune of southeast France.]
baux·it′ic (-sĭt′ĭk) adj.bauxite (ˈbɔːksaɪt) n (Minerals) a white, red, yellow, or brown amorphous claylike substance comprising aluminium oxides and hydroxides, often with such impurities as iron oxides. It is the chief ore of aluminium. General formula: Al2O3.nH2O[C19: from French, from (Les) Baux in southern France, where it was originally found]baux•ite (ˈbɔk saɪt, ˈboʊ zaɪt)
n. a claylike rock consisting of aluminum oxides and hydroxides with various impurities: the principal ore of aluminum. [1860–65; < French (1821), after Les Baux, near Arles in S France, from where it was obtained] baux•it•ic (bɔkˈsɪt ɪk, boʊˈzɪt-) adj. baux·ite (bôk′sīt′) A soft, whitish to reddish-brown rock composed mainly of hydrous aluminum oxides.

Translationsbauxite
bauxite (bôk`sīt, bŏk`–), mixture of hydrated aluminum oxides usually containing oxides of iron and silicon in varying quantities. A noncrystalline substance formerly thought to be a mineral, bauxite is claylike and earthy and ranges in color from white to deep brown or red according to the nature and quantity of its components. Bauxite occurs characteristically in pisolitic form, i.e., composed of small, round concretions. Its composition varies, alumina constituting from about 50% to about 70%. First discovered in Les Baux, France, bauxite is widely distributed, with important deposits occurring in Africa, South America, Russia, the West Indies, and the United States (Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia). It is the chief source of aluminum and of its compounds, including alumina, alums, and alundum. It is used in the preparation of abrasives and as a refractory for spark plugs and furnace linings.bauxite[′bȯk‚sīt] (petrology) A whitish, grayish, brown, yellow, or reddish-brown rock composed of hydrous aluminum oxides and aluminum hydroxides and containing impurities such as free silica, silt, iron hydroxides, and clay minerals; the principal commercial source of aluminum. bauxite a white, red, yellow, or brown amorphous claylike substance comprising aluminium oxides and hydroxides, often with such impurities as iron oxides. It is the chief ore of aluminium. General formula: Al2O3.nH2O bauxite
bauxite A ferruginous hydrate of aluminium, which is the main state of aluminium in nature. Australia is the world’s top producer of bauxite at 60 million tonnes/year.AcronymsSeebiopsybauxite
