WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Introduction. Bauxite residue, or red mud, is a solid waste produced from the alumina refining of bauxite ore. Red mud is mostly collected from the Bayer process which uses sodium hydroxide to dissolve the aluminium silicate. Typically, about 1 to tonnes of red mud remains from the production of 1 t of alumina (Zhang et al., 2011).
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Introduction Due to its economics, the Bayer process is still the preferred and most used process globally for producing alumina. Bauxite is the main feedstock of Bayer process. Progressive bauxite quality deterioration is one of the main challenges to the alumina industry.
