A potentially sustainable process for treating bauxite residue. Millions of tonnes of 'red mud', a hazardous waste of aluminium production, are generated annually.
Bauxite residue (BR), also referred to as red mud, is an industrial waste resulting from the processing of bauxite to alumina using the Bayer process. The primary factors affecting the amount of BR produced by alumina refineries are the bauxite composition and the production method (Evans, 2016). Normally, 0.7–2 tonnes of BR …

Efforts to remove reactive silica from bauxite ore prior to shipment have largely focused on gravitational methods such as washing, screening and the use of hydrocyclones. The …
bauxite is composed of gibbsite as aluminous mineral, kaolinite as silicate mineral and goethite iron mineral. It is formed by leaching of silica from aluminosilicate rock. Lateritic bauxite is classified into six major types on the basis of conditions of weathering and deposit age [7]. The karst bauxite is composed of boehmite and diaspore as
