Migration pattern of major elements of the Datang bauxite in WZD area, northern Guizhou province, China

Abstract

Sthe research studies the migration pattern of major elements of the bauxite in Datang Syncline, WZD area of the northern part of GuiZhou province through field geological survey, hand specimen observation, and major element analysis and the result shows that Al, Si and Fe all show negative correlation, the enrichment of Al is the result of the massive loss of Si and Fe, the migration pattern of Si and Fe in Datang area is not obvious which means the leaching effect is not sufficient in this area and Si and Fe do not migrate synchronously during mineralizing process.
