During the various phases of development of this industry, some environmental impacts have been triggered. In this context, this study aimed to conduct an integrative literature review on the impacts caused by the burning of sugarcane in the state of Alagoas. Searches were carried out in electronic databases such as: (1) Science Direct; (2) Lilacs; (3) Scopus; (4) Scielo; (5) Google Scholar; (6) OATD (Open Access Theses and Dissertations); (7) BDTD (Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations); (8) La Referencia Red de Repositorios de Acceso Abierto a la Ciencia; (9) NDLTD (Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations); and (10) BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine). After searching the literature on the impacts caused by burning in sugarcane culture in the state of Alagoas, 600 published works were identified. Among the 600 works, only 11 were eligible to compose the integrative review study. In general, most of the eligible studies were developed by the Federal University of Alagoas. Additionally, it was observed that the expansion of monoculture has led to rural exodus, land concentration, and biodiversity loss. Despite technological advances adopted by sugar mills to mitigate these impacts, such as the reuse of waste and the adoption of more sustainable agricultural practices, the challenges of ensuring environmental and social sustainability remain. This study reinforces the importance of a more integrated and sustainable production model that considers not only economic benefits but also environmental and social effects, promoting a better quality of life for local communities and contributing to the preservation of natural resources.ptIndústria SucroalcooleiraImpactos AmbientaisRevisão da literatura.Trabalho de Conclusão de CursoENGENHARIAS::ENGENHARIA QUIMICA
