(a) The chemical names and formulae of main ores have been mentioned below:

(b) Aluminum oxide makes up to 60% of the bauxite ore. Ferric oxide, sand, and titanium oxide are the other components of the4 bauxite ore.

(c) The insoluble pollutants are referred to as red mud. Filtration removes sand, ferric oxide, and other contaminants.
