[4] The Orbite process is an industrial means to refine aluminum ores (such as bauxite) to produce alumina (aluminum oxide) patented by Orbite Alumnae using acid rather than sodium hydroxide like in the Bayer process.

At the end of the leaching all metal molecules (excluding titanium) react to produce chloride compounds.

The leachate still containing FeCl3 is hydrolysed at low temperature, producing ferric oxide and regenerating the hydrochloric acid.
