Bauxite samples from Boke-Mine, Guinea, West Africa, were investigated by TG-DSC, TG-MS, dilatometry and laser flash analysis. The sample showed mass-loss steps due to the dehydration of aluminum hydroxides and iron hydroxides. Sintering of the samples starts at around 800°C. The thermal diffusivity values were between 1.2 to 0.6 mm2/s for the temperature range RT to 300°C.
