The Greek bauxite usually contains significant amount of liberated limestone: 2 - 4 % expressed as CaO. This type of contaminant can be removed by the H/M (Heavy Media Separation) method with high efficiency. [9] The separation is carried out in a rotating heavy media by using TriFlow separators. Alternatively a heavy media cyclone could be used.
