No one can question the enormously positive impact that the bauxite/alumina industry has had on the Jamaican economy over the last 53 years. The sector is today the second largest foreign exchange earner, raking in some US901 million last year (an 18 per cent increase over 2003), and creating significant linkages in the economy as well as providing quality employment.

Alcan built a second refinery in Jamaica at Ewarton, St. Catherine, in 1959. In 1961, a fourth company, Alcoa, began mining bauxite in the island. The production of alumina also increased, especially after the mid1960s. By 1968, Alcan had brought the capacity of its
Alcan built the first alumina processing plant near its mines at Kirkvine, Manchester, and in early 1952 began shipping alumina from Port Esquivel. This was the beginning of the industry in Jamaica. After the first shipment of bauxite from Jamaica in 1952, production increased rapidly, and by 1957 Jamaica had become the leading bauxite producer

JISCO ALUMINA JAMAICA II LIMITED (Alumina Plant) Alumina Partners of Jamaica (ALPART) has its bauxite mining and alumina processing plant located at Nain, St. Elizabeth, in the south of Jamaica. The company was first established in the early 1960s under the union of three companies (Anaconda, Kaiser Aluminum and Reynolds Metals).
Jamaica contains some of the largest known deposits of bauxite in the world. The mining areas are located in the western and central parts of the island. After mining, most of the bauxite is carried to alumina plants where it is refined into alumina. The alumina (or in some cases unrefined bauxite) is carried to export ports by rail.
CHARACTERISTIC ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANIES The technologies employed by the bauxitealumina companies fall into three groups: (a) Input technologies: the techniques and processes which supply the plants with raw materials: bauxite, limestone, fuel, water, caustic soda, sulphuric acid, flocculants, spare parts etc. (b) Process technologies: the techniques and processes which convert

Mining and Refining Process. The Bayer Process was invented and patented in 1887 by Austrian scientist Karl Josef Bayer. Two to three tonnes of bauxite are required to produce one tonne of alumina. 90% of the global alumina supply of around 90 million tonnes is used in aluminium production. Alumina refineries tend to be located close to bauxite
