Galena is a mineral composed of lead sulfide, and the main ore of lead. Bauxite is a rock containing various amounts of aluminum minerals and is the main ore of aluminum.
There is enough of the ore being mined at present for many years yet, at least 50 years. After that, ore of lower U concentration may have to be used, and there is plenty of that, though it will be more expensive to extract.
To refine an ore means to extract the valuable metal that is inside the ore.
The metals present are probably titanium and potassium (or sodium) present as cations (positive ions). Because it is an alum, there is probably also sulfate included as the anion (negative ion)
Smelting: Mined out of the ground, raw ore is a mixture of materials called ore proper and loose earth called gangue (waste). The ore proper is separated by crushing the raw ore are simply washing away the lighter soil. Breaking down the ore from its impurities is more difficult.
Bauxite, that is Aluminium Ore
The most common aluminum ore is bauxite. It is a sedimentary rock that is rich in aluminum hydroxide minerals.
