Bauxite residue, also known as red mud, is an insoluble byproduct generated from the extraction of alumina from bauxite during the Bayer process (Figure 1), a crucial step in manufacturing aluminum. Solid waste residue is generated from the digestion of bauxite ores with caustic soda for alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) production [11].
IAI bauxite residue voluntary global objectives IAI Objective 4 – Conclusion of bauxite residue solids disposal to marine and aquatic environment: The industry commits to the conclusion of the few remaining aquatic and marine disposal activities by 2016.
Bauxite residue which is dry enough for broad-scale agricultural use is quite strongly alkaline (it has a total soluble alkalinity of 25 to 35 g/L and has a pH in a fully carbonated state of I 0.8). In contrast the soils and wetlands of the Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment are generally quite acid with a low pH.

Bauxite residue, also commonly referred to in the literature as red mud, Bayer process tailings-, or bauxite process tailings (Gräfe et al ., 2011), is the slurry by-product generated during the treatment of bauxite ores using the Bayer process to produce alumina.
6/4/2019· Bauxite residue, the byproduct of alumina production, may potentially be a valuable source of strategically important metals, e.g. Gallium. Ga is considered critical element for the EU. To ensure adequate supply of Ga for the future, secondary sources such as bauxite residue should be exploited with efficient extraction methods. Therefore, in this study, mineral acids (H2SO4, HCl, and HNO3 ...
The global average of bauxite residue generated per tonne of alumina is between 1 and 1.5 tonnes; it is estimated that over 150 million tonnes of bauxite residue are produced annually – 5-6 million tonnes in Europe alone, and the majority of this waste is being landfilled.
The element is invisible or too thin, upon page loading. In case of using tabs, try a Custom width in the General settings and you may also use a fixed width. (Justified Image Grid) With applications in everything from energy, infrastructure, and aerospace, to automotive, packaging, and more, aluminum has become a cornerstone of modern society.
11/10/2016· In conclusion, it is underlined that "public, corporate, and government attitudes have never presented such an encouraging environment for developing and implementing bauxite residue uses." The work continues with a paper by Mayes et al. [ 2 ], providing an update on the environmental risks that are associated with the Ajka spill accident ...
The application of phosphogypsum is an effective method for alkaline and hazard amelioration in the bauxite residue. In conclusion, the reduction in pH, alkalinity and alkaline ions concentration may include three reaction mechanisms: (1) Neutralization: the phosphoric acid creates acid environment to neutralize the alkalinity and then ...
A process for removing silica from bauxite is disclosed. The method includes the step of mixing bauxite with a caustic liquor to form a mixture and to dissolve and stabilise at least a substantial part of the reactive silica from the bauxite. The caustic liquor is selected to have a high caustic concentration and a high alumina content.

understanding desilication products in bauxite refinery residues Page ii Vishakya Jayalatharachchi 2016 Page ii Abstract Bauxite refinery residue (red mud) is a waste by-product generated by the extraction of alumina from bauxite ores [1-3]. Bauxite residue is generated through the Bayer
Bauxite residue is the iron-oxide rich mine waste from the processing of bauxite ore for the extraction of alumina through the Bayer process. ... conclusion and recommendations for possible future ...
Bauxite residue is a dark red thick muddy material with moisture content about 26% in its initial state. While bauxites are composed of well crystallized phases judging by the narrow peaks of XRD scans, the crystallinity of bauxite residue phases less developed as seen from the wider XRD peaks and therefore indicating to some XRD-amorphous content ().
Effective Utilization of Bauxite Residue(Red Mud) in Brick Making Abstract. Effective Utilization Of Bauxite Residue(Red Mud) In Brick Making Red mud is a solid residue of bauxite ores digestion with caustic soda for alumina production. Its disposal remains an environmental issue worldwide.
Bauxite residue is a high volume byproduct of alumina manufacture which is commonly disposed of in purpose-built bauxite residue disposal areas (BRDAs). Natural waters interacting with bauxite residue are characteristically highly alkaline, and have elevated concentrations of Na, Al, and other trace metals. Rehabilitation of BRDAs is therefore often costly and resource/infrastructure intensive ...
Alumina refinery residue storage: from lagooning to dry stacking. Tailings and byproducts in the mineral processing, mining and refining industries have been the greatest challenge since the beginning. In the case of alumina refineries, bauxite residue has relevant public consideration, due to the spillage occurred in the last years.

It is primarily composed of the insoluble fraction of the bauxite ore that remains after extraction of the aluminium-containing components. Iron oxides (10 – 30%), titanium dioxide (2 – 15%), silicon oxide (5 – 20%) and undissolved alumina (0 – 20%) make up the residue, together with a wide range of other oxides which will vary according to the initial bauxite source.
The invention relates to a method for obtaining valuable substances from a bauxite residue which is obtained or can be obtained by means of the Bayer method.
