reduces the pH to 9 by consuming OH-in bauxite residue (Xue et al. 2016a; Han et al. 2017; Higgins et al. 2018). The chemical and mineralogical properties of the com-bined bauxite residue are significantly different from those of the Bayer process bauxite residue. The combined bauxite residue has a lower content of Fe and a higher
Bauxite residue is a mixture of several simple and complex oxides that are originated either from bauxite ore itself or from Bayer process as a by-product. Bauxite residue generally contains a large fraction of hematite and other iron-bearing minerals like goethite. These minerals give the characteristic red color to bauxite residue hence the ...
Bauxite residue is the industrial solid waste discharged from the production of alumina by bauxite, which contains a certain amount of ferric oxide in a reddish-brown color, so it is also called "red mud", and is a typical non-ferrous metallurgical solid waste (Wang et al. 2018; Xue et al. 2022).The varieties of bauxite residue depend on the …
Bauxite residue (red mud), an alkaline slurry from alumina refining, is produced in large volumes and disposed of in large surface impoundments.

Bauxite residue was exposed to carbon dioxide (C O 2) at partial pressures ranging from 10 − 3.5 to 1 atm and the residue pore-water pH was …
The two-step processing of bauxite residue via neutralisation and subsequent leaching establishes the effect of CO 2 gas as neutralisation reagent on the extraction efficiencies of metal recovery via acidic leaching. The minimum pH …
Bauxite residue (red mud) is a promising anthropogenic source of scandium because only at the aluminum plants of Ural region (Russia) nearly 150 tons of this trace metal appears in the waste dumps annually. This work describes a method of red mud carbonization by carbon dioxide that results on the one hand to scandium leaching and …

BAUXITE RESIDUE. Bauxite residue is a waste product from the aluminium production process. Rich in iron and aluminium, bauxite residue is produced through the extraction …
Bauxite residue (Red mud) is produced in alumina plants by the Bayer process in which Al-containing minerals are dissolved in hot NaOH. The global residue inventory reached an estimated 3.5 billion tons in 2014, increasing by approximately 120 million tons per annum. The appropriate management of bauxite residue is becoming a …
Bauxite residue is a by-product of the Bayer Process. It is primarily composed of the insoluble fraction of the bauxite ore that remains after extraction of the aluminium-containing components. Iron oxides (10 – …
A key driver in achieving the goal is finding reuse opportunities for bauxite residue, which consists primarily of red mud and coarse sand. Alcoa is a founding member of the four-year ReActiv project, which is seeking to transform bauxite residue into a reactive material suitable for new cement products that have a low carbon dioxide …
The abstraction of alumina [Al 2 O 3] through the Bayer process is an economic way compared to other processes using bauxite residue, which may result in a relatively small proportion of alumina (Evans, 2016; Rai et al., 2020).The bauxite is crumpled, grinded and then assorted with caustic soda solution and impelled in claves …
The large amount of bauxite residue (red mud) -a highly alkaline by-product of the Bayer process of refining bauxite into aluminahas a relevant environmental impact and poses a challenge to the aluminum industry. In particular, the high alkalinity (pH~13) of red mud can cause adverse environmental consequences if no treatment is applied before final …
Bauxite residue was exposed to carbon dioxide (C O 2) at partial pressures ranging from 10 − 3.5 to 1 atm and the residue pore-water pH was measured until a steady state pH was achieved. Using pure C O 2 ( P C O 2 = 1 atm ), a steady state pH of 7.7 was established in 1 day while it took 9 days to reach a pH of 9.8 at P C O 2 = 10 − 3.5 atm .
Bauxite residue (BR) is generated as a by-product of the Bayer process. Approximately 1.2 tons of BR is generated per ton of alumina production but the quantity of bauxite residue depends upon on the quality of the processed bauxite ore and the processing parameter (Primary Aluminium Production).The annual generation of BR in …
Simultaneous carbon mineralization during neutralization of bauxite residue, a caustic alkaline by-product of alumina refining, was tested using laboratory batch and a field pilot study in contact with atmospheric CO 2.Since CO 2 sequestration is limited by the Ca concentration in the bauxite residue, extra Ca sources were added in a semi-soluble …
