Today, bauxite is mostly mined in tropical areas like Guinea, Brazil or Australia. Hence, the majority of the bauxite used in Europe is imported, i.e. about 14-15 Mt/year, with the exception of Greece which produces 2 Mt/year used locally. Mining bauxite leads to an impact to land and in usage of raw materials, energy, air emissions and tailings.

After the bauxite ore is extracted from mines, it is taken to a plant where it is refined. The process of obtaining the aluminum oxide requires high temperature and pressure. Sodium hydroxide is used to extract the aluminum oxide. The process produces a solid residue which is then removed.

Bauxite Bauxite, the raw material for the production of alumina, was first discovered in 1924 at Kijang, Bintan Island, in the province of Riau, in northwestern Indonesia. Bauxite from Bintan Island has been mined and exported since 1935. In 1968 ANTAM acquired the mine. Thus, ANTAM is Indonesia's longest running producer of bauxite.
