UPSC CDS-1 – 2021
The correct answer is B) Bauxite ore. Aluminium is primarily manufactured from bauxite, which is an aluminium ore rich in aluminium oxides. The process involves refining bauxite into alumina (aluminium oxide) and then smelting alumina using electrolysis (Hall-Héroult process) to produce aluminium metal.
Bauxite is the principal ore from which aluminium is extracted globally.
India has significant reserves of bauxite, mainly found in Odisha, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh. Other ores listed (Copper ore, Mica ore, Manganese ore) are sources for Copper, Mica, and Manganese respectively, not Aluminium.
