Guinea is home to the world's largest reserves of bauxite, a type of rock that can be refined into aluminum. With the West African country's bauxite production poised to grow rapidly, a team from Columbia's Earth Institute has been collecting information and developing suggestions to help guide Guinea on a sustainable path forward.. The team presented its findings at a workshop in June.

Bauxite is a high-aluminium-content rock. That is the main ore that aluminium is mined from. One of the most common elements on earth is bauxite. It contains almost 25 percent-30% alumina. In the belt around the equator, bauxite is commonly found. The primary aluminium bearing ore with an aluminium content of more than 35 to 40 percent is bauxite.

The Bauxite Company of Guinea (CBG thereafter) initiated the exploitation of bauxite in Boké. Since 1973, CBG has been operating several mines on the Sangaredi Plateau and an aluminum plant on the port of Kamsar. Despite the exploitation of bauxite for half a century, the villages near CBG mines do not benefit from the extractive activity.

Bauxite may become unstable when carried in bulk on a ship, potentially causing the vessel to capsize. Research presented to IMO found that certain forms of bauxite with a large proportion of smaller particles could be subject to a newly-identified phenomenon of "dynamic separation" when there is excess moisture in the cargo.

Bauxite is a soft limonite iron ore rock with portions of its iron composition replaced by aluminum. Bauxite forms when silica leaches out from laterite soil. Bauxite does not exhibit any particular composition instead it is just an assortment of clay minerals, aluminum hydroxides, and hydrous aluminum oxides.
