| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set, users should consider the geographic specificity of the mining location as this may affect environmental impacts. Careful attention must be given to the transportation assumptions provided in the inventory, as they may deviate from the real situation. Users should also ensure that data for end-use energy is appropriately modeled according to the regions of application and updated to reflect current practice. For LCA studies, this data should be integrated considering its technological relevance and any updates in industrial standards. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The extracted bauxite is primarily used for the production of alumina through the Bayer process, which later can be refined into aluminum metal. This aluminum ultimately serves various industries such as automotive, aerospace, packaging, building, and construction. The high-grade bauxite from this mining process is suited for use in the manufacture of high-quality aluminum products. |
