Ames Research Center (ARC), commonly known as NASA Ames, is a major NASA research center at Moffett Federal Airfield in California's Silicon Valley.
It consists mostly of the minerals gibbsite Al(OH) 3, boehmite Î³-AlO(OH) and diaspore Î±-AlO(OH), mixed with the two iron oxides goethite and haematite, the clay mineral kaolinite and small amounts of anatase TiO 2.n 2009, Australia was the top producer of bauxite with almost one-third of the world's production, followed by China, Brazil, India, and Guinea. Although aluminium demand is rapidly increasing, known reserves of its bauxite ore are sufficient to meet the worldwide demands for aluminium for many centuries.
We know that bauxite is a mineral, and it is the principle ore of aluminum. Bauxite is a mixture, and as such, it has no specific chemical formula.It is, however, composed ma â¦ inly of three minerals, each of which is a compound of aluminum. These minerals are gibbsite Al(OH)3, boehmite Î³-AlO(OH), and diaspore Î±-AlO(OH). + 15 others found this useful.
