The size to which bauxite is crushed before entering the refining process can vary depending on the specific requirements of the processing plant. Typically, bauxite is crushed to a particle size of the range of around 1 to 3 inches (25 to 75 millimeters). This ensures that the material is of uniform size, facilitating more efficient and effective processing, such as grinding and digestion in the Bayer process for alumina production. However, it's always best to consult the guidelines and specifications of the specific processing facility for precise size requirements.
