The process of extracting aluminum from bauxite involves crushing and refining the mineral to produce alumina, which is then used to produce aluminum metal. The global demand for aluminum has driven the growth of the bauxite industry, with major bauxiteproducing countries including Australia, Guinea, Brazil, and China.
