Bauxite Mining

• Bauxite is a naturally occurring form of aluminum ore.
• It consists of 45-60% aluminum oxide, 12-30% water, and various other impurities.
• Bauxite is typically mined in open-pits and either processed into alumina near the mining operation, or shipped to smelting markets around the world for processing.
• There is a huge amount of industrial byproducts/wastes emitted out of bauxite mining.
