Bauxite, the main raw material for aluminum production, has a special place in the mining industry due to its unique characteristics and diverse applications, including refractory industries, cement production, and chemical production.
The wide geographical dispersion of bauxite deposits, its easy extraction and lower costs have created an opportunity for economic exploitation. After processing, this mineral turns into alumina and plays a role in the production of high added value products such as cars, airplanes and food packaging. However, challenges such as environmental impacts, high energy costs in processing and global competition complicate the exploitation of bauxite.
Using advanced technologies to identify resources, reduce environmental impacts and waste management is one of the basic strategies for the sustainable development of this industry. With strategic planning and high productivity, bauxite can be used as a powerful lever for the economic and industrial growth of countries.
