Keywords: bauxite residue, synergistic filler, intumescent coating, dehydroxylation, heat shielding efficiency. INTRODUCTION Bauxite residue (BR) commonly referred to as red mud (RM) is the alumino-silicate waste of the alumina refinery. For every tone of alumina produced, almost twice that amount of red mud is generated.
12%Alumina is extracted from bauxite ore with sodium hydroxide under high temperature and pressure (Bayer process). The waste remaining after alumina extraction is termed bauxite refinery residue and consists mainly of iron-, aluminium-, and titanium-oxides (Table 1), as well as reactive silica (clay minerals) that forms a sodium alumino-silicate, also termed desilication product …

3% of the annual bauxite residue production (8). The main constituent of bauxite residue is iron oxide and it can make up to 45% of the mass of the bauxite residue. In fact, the red colour of bauxite residue is caused by iron(III) oxides (mostly haematite, Fe 2O 3) (9). In general, due to its high alkaline (Na 2O ≈ 10%) and its titanium (TiO ...

Mining and Refining – Bauxite Residue Utilisation. Since the start of large scale manufacture of alumina using the Bayer Process in the 1890s, the industry has sought ways of using bauxite residue in a sustainable manner. Despite the enormous amount of work and countless studies over many years, the utilisation rate has historically been modest.
1. Introduction. Up to 274 million tons of bauxite ore was mined globally for alumina production in 2015; 30% in Australia, 22% in China, and 13% in Brazil .Approximately 35–40% of the bauxite mine production is in slurry form as solid waste bauxite residue (commonly called red mud). This bauxite residue and bauxite residue-contaminated soil is extremely caustic,,, .

Figure 1, which has a product to by-product (bauxite residue) ratio of 0.7 to 2. 5 [1]. According to the data from World Bank as shown in Table 1 [2], the annual production of bauxite increased from 176.8 Mt to 296.1 Mt in the year 2005 to 2017. Due to the large aluminium commercial production, vast quantities of bauxite residue were generated.
Conclusions. The bauxite residue sample was a very fine material, with 90 wt% of the material having a particle size of less than 10 μm. The main minerals observed in the bauxite residue were gibbsite, diaspore, hematite, calcite and cancrinite. The concentration of the rare-earth elements (REEs) in the studied bauxite residue was around 0.1 ...
The chemical analysis of the bauxite residue used in this study is shown in Table 1, Table 2. Table 1 shows that the bauxite residue is rich in iron oxide and alumina. Table 2 shows that the total REE content in the bauxite residue is about 0.1%. Borra et al. reported that the bauxite residue used in this study is a very fine material with d 90 less than 10 μm and contains small agglomerates ...

bauxite residue per tonne of alumina varies from 1 to 1.5 tonnes, so it is estimated that about 150 million tonnes of bauxite residue is produced annually. Bauxite residue has been called by different names by various companies. These are registered trademarks and reported in many publication and reports [8, 9].
Red mud, also commonly called bauxite residue, is a waste product left over from the Bayer process, in which alumina is extracted from bauxite ore. ... Conclusion. Increasing demand for metals paired with the economic challenges and environmental risks presented by red mud are a growing concern in the path to a more sustainable future. However ...
12%Bauxite residue is an alkaline waste byproduct generated by the extraction of alumina from bauxite. The production of 1 t of alumina generates about 1.5 t of bauxite residues (Hamada 1986 ).

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 – 30%), titanium dioxide (2 – 15%), silicon oxide (5 – 20%) and undissolved alumina (0 – 20%) make up the residue, together with ...
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].
Characterization results showed the bauxite residue sample contains about 0.03 wt% REEs. Systematic leaching experiments showed that concentrated HNO 3 is the most effective lixiviant. However, because of the process complexities, H 2 SO 4 was selected as the lixiviant. To further enhance the leaching efficiency, a novel process based on ...

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 process, which involves the digestion of bauxite ore using concentrated sodium hydroxide at elevated temperatures and pressures [1, 3, 4]. The residue is a hazardous
Bauxite residue (also called red mud) is a solid waste formed during the production of alumina in the Bayer process. It has been estimated that about 140-150 million tonnes of bauxite residue are generated every year and, approximately 4 billion tonnes of this material have been already stockpiled during the last decades.
Bauxite residue is a byproduct of the alumina refining process. At Alunorte, the bauxite residue is dry-stacked, and stored in bauxite residue deposits. The rainwater that falls on these solid residue deposits is drained to the edges, and from there goes via a drainage system to containment basins. This water, which has been in contact with the ...
