LETERITE DEPOSITS
y Deposit di hasilkan karena proses pelapukan (physical & chemical), eg. Bauksit, clay dan nikel.
y Fe dan Al umumnya mengalami persipitasi bersama-samadgn Fe dominan pada situasi dimana batuan indukdgn Fe dominan, pada situasi dimana batuan induksedikit mengandung Fe yg kemudian mengalamipelapukan, maka Al akan dominan dan hasil endapannyaberupa laterit yang di sebut bauksit.
y Faktor yang penting untuk pembentukan bauksit adalah :y Humid tropical or tropical climate with wet dan dry seasons,
temperature above 20y Suitable parent rock

SOME FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE DEPOSITION OF BAUXITE IS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Source rocks that is rich in aluminium elements
2. Subtropics region with high precipitation environment
3. Daily temperatures > 25oC
4. Undulating topography
5 Stable area (old stadium)

5. Stable area (old stadium)
6. Formed above the permanent water table

Source rock - rich in Al. Basic-intermediate rocks Sedimentary rocks
Weathering and dissolving processes
BAUXITE DEPOSITION PROCESS
Weathering and dissolving processesby acid water (9 < PH < 4 acidcarbonate +organic solution)
Transporting of dissolved elements, Ca,Na, K, and Mg. Forming of Al2O3 SiO2 H2O residues (hydrous aluminum silica) and salts-Fe
MFR@200724
Settling of hydrate aluminum silicaresidues and salts-Fe at PH 4 9(normalized acid dissolvement)
Dehydration of residues forming bauxite (concretion)
