Revegetation is a promising strategy for large-scale bauxite residue disposal and management, potentially influencing the geochemical stability of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) through rhizosphere processes. ... These factors are crucial in influencing the migration and transformation of PTEs in contaminated soils and mining wastes ...
At the heart of every bauxite mining and refining operation lie local communities, comprising the workforce and their families (often across multiple generations), suppliers of materials and support services, neighbours and customers. ... Implement effective risk-management strategies and systems based on sound science and which account for ...
Bauxite mining companies have well established biodiversity management plans, wherein the existing biome is mapped, operational and external impacts on biodiversity are assessed and opportunities to mitigate impacts or promote increased biodiversity are evaluated. ... Once this assessment has been carried out, targets are developed, strategies ...
Finally, the local perception of bauxite mining's socio-environmental issues in the Boke has been investigated, revealing low awareness among locals and the prevalence of corruption and social inequalities (Dibattista et al. 2023). In Malaysia, the environmental and health impacts of bauxite mining have been a concern.
In the 1960s, bauxite mining cleared 440ha of publicly-owned land in the Northern Jarrah Forest, but between 2010 and 2019, the figure had surged to 10,420ha – a nearly 25-fold increase. The report warns that if the current trend of bauxite mining continues, it could eventually clear up to 83,000ha of forest and fragment another 337,000ha.
The 4090-ha mine produced some 168 million tons of bauxite from 1963 to late 1998 when the mine ceased production. Many of the key lessons in developing Alcoa's current rehabilitation methods were developed at Jarrahdale and it was the first mine in Western Australia that the company had closed and rehabilitated to pre-agreed standards ( Grant ...
In a letter to the government on 26 July, the AAC repeated its stance on the importance of bauxite mining in Australia's ability to vie for capital in a competitive global market. "The key to success is to ensure that Australia's bauxite resources continue to be able to be economically accessible, that low-cost renewable energy is ...
bauxite mining and aluminum production on local communities. 1.

We are leaders not only in technology for reducing the cost of mining bauxite, but in solutions for restoring the land once mining operations are complete. As an award-winning environmental leader, our strategy for rehabilitation is to restore the land to a stable condition that will be consistent with the aesthetic, environmental, economic ...
Bauxite mining companies were also found to be actively engaged with local communities to assist development in terms of employment, training programmes and compensation packages. ... Table 3 summarises the weaknesses in the proposed SOP in relation to the Sustainable Bauxite Mining Guidelines and resolving strategies to address the gaps.
In the Amazon region, mining has met both the national and the international demand for many minerals for more than half a century, in particular for iron ore and bauxite, the extraction of which has increased significantly in recent years (Monteiro, 2005; Sonter et al., 2017).While large-scale mining has driven economic development in the region, it has also had substantial impacts on …
As bauxite mining in Vanua Levu is still in its early stages, this paper will not conduct a cost benefit analysis of bauxite mining. Rather the paper will provide an overview of bauxite mining in Vanua Levu, the purported economic benefits of the mine, risks, costs and concerns raised by various stakeholders and the mechanisms and strategies in ...
