TITLE:

KEY WORDS:

Maceio, rock salt, mining, chlorchemical sector, environmental disaster.

SUMMARY:

This project proposes the development of a critical theoretical reflection on the rock salt mineral industry and the impacts of its performance in the city of Maceió, capital of the State of Alagoas. This mining subsidizes raw material for the chlorochemical sector, which is relevant to the local and regional economy, but this activity is identified by the Geological Service of Brazil (CPRM) as responsible for the largest environmental disaster occurring located in urban areas in Latin America, directly affecting about 50,000 people, damage caused to the city by the rock salt mineral extraction model. With a view to investigating the issue and giving geographical science a contribution to the theme, a historical-dialectical study is initially carried out on the social and economic formation of the State of Alagoas, emphasizing the specificities of this process in the city of Maceió. Then, a characterization of the physical and biological aspects is made, identifying the morphology and geology of the explored region, substantiating fundamental elements of the region where rock salt extraction activities occur in Lagoon Mundaú and in three neighborhoods. Obtaining such information for scientific basis, a contextualization of the mining around rock salt in Alagoas is constructed in the course of this, involving the history of extraction, the processes and evolution of processing (chlorine/soda/DCE), as well as the history of the responsible company from the emergence of Salgema S/A and the events that took place to the privatization and then the emergence of the gigantic petrochemical company Braskem S/A. Pointing out the contributions of the chlorochemical complex to the economy of Alagoas and its contradictions that emerged. Next, an understanding of the environmental disaster in occurrence is presented, based on the CPRM reports (2019) and some subsequent technical studies that describe the subsidence process that already affects 5 neighborhoods in the city and the diagnosed environmental risks. Finally, a geographic analysis of the environmental, social and economic impacts caused and their consequences for the city of Maceió is built.
