Aligned with their commitment to advance sustainably, Alcoa is collaborating with Australian-based Alumtek Minerals and ChemCentre to further develop technology to extract usable materials from bauxite residue – a by-product of the alumina refining process.
The technology will target critical minerals and rare earths that have a range of highly technological applications in sectors including renewable energy, aerospace, defense, automotive (particularly electric vehicles), telecommunications and agriculture.
