摘要
Research on the regularities of distribution of associated elements by ICP-MS revealed that those associated elements (TiO2, Ga, Ge, Sc, Nb, Li, REE ,etc.) in the deposit, which are close to or over the industrial tenor of comprehensive utilization, are enriched in ore-bodies in the Xiaoshanba bauxite deposit, especially, the contents of Ga and Sc are obviously high in Fe-rich bauxite ores. Bauxite resources are abundant in Guizhou Province, and the associated elements are usually enriched in red mud during the production process of aluminum. Therefore, it is suggested that people should pay attention to the latent economic value of bauxite.
