Red mud (RM) is a waste generated during bauxite processing for alumina production. The most common method for bauxite processing is the Bayer process, where raw material is digested under high pressure by NaOH to obtain a pregnant sodium aluminate solution [].During highpressure leaching, nonsoluble elements such as iron, titanium, and refractory or precipitated during washing step aluminum ...
The process involves baking of bauxite residue with sulfuric acid (12 mL/g, 120200 °C, 224 h) to generate metal sulfates and further decomposition of sulfates (except RE) at high temperatures (600800 °C) and water leaching to dissolve REEs [14,15,16,17].

The Bayer process is the main method of alumina production worldwide. The use of lowquality bauxites for alumina production results in the formation of a significant amount of technogenic waste—bauxite residue (BR). The Bayer reductive method is one possible way to eliminate BR stockpiling, but it requires highpressure leaching at temperatures higher than 220 °C.
The acid leaching reactions of the bauxite would be thermodynamically easy and completed. Under the conditions that ore granularity is less than −55 μm, the L/S ratio is 100:7, and the leaching temperature is 373383 K, the leaching time is 120 min and the concentration of HCl is 10%, both the leaching rates of Al and Fe are over 95%.
1. Introduction. Red mud (RM) is a solid waste generated by alkali (NaOH) leaching of bauxite by the Bayer process for alumina production [].More than one ton of RM is produced for one ton of alumina (Al 2 O 3), and over 150 Mt of RM is annually stored in landfills and sea [].The RM utilization degree is extremely low due to the high Na, Al, Si, and Ca content because these elements increase ...
Thus, this process doesn't look compatible with laterite where the iron content is much higher than typical lowgrade bauxite. Hence, an alternative acid leaching extraction was planned. For any earth material extraction process, the study of the kinetic behavior of element extraction is crucial to make the process efficient.
Due to drawbacks of the direct leaching route from bauxite residue, such as silica gel formation and low selectivity towards these valuable metals, a novel leaching process based on oxidative ...
The separation of iron and aluminum in highiron bauxite has been a field of interest for quite a while. For example, in the early studies of iron removal from bauxite, acid leaching [9,10,11] and biological leaching [12,13] were applied. In the process of acid leaching, hematite can be removed by acid dissolution.
The Bayer process is used worldwide for the alumina production. This process involves the alkaline leaching of bauxite to extract Al, followed by the precipitation of Al(OH) 3 to recycle the solution [1,2,3].The leaching process results in the formation of a solid residue, commonly referred to as a bauxite residue, which consists of iron minerals, hydrous aluminosilicates, which are formed ...
Therefore, the leaching process with dilute HNO 3 has been performed and optimized at a pilot scale for the recovery of scandium from bauxite residue . According to Petrakova et al., leaching with nitric acid could be a problem due to the absorption of nitrate ions on the residue, so that large volumes of water are needed for their removal [ 43 ].
The HCl leaching studies of bauxite indicated that as the concentration of HCl acid increases, the iron content reduces substantially, but at the same time, loss of alumina takes place. The change in bauxite colour from reddish brown to light colour indicated leaching of ore. ... In order to minimize the input material for the leaching process ...
