Bauxite residue is a highly salinesodic tailings material formed as a byproduct of the Bayer process for alumina production. In situ remediation of bauxite residue has the potential to provide an effective means for accelerated rehabilitation of residue storage areas. However, previous work has predominantly only used chemical and physical amendments to date, limiting rates of pH ...
The starting material used in this work is a slag that was produced from a smeltingreduction process of lowgrade bauxite from our previous work (Azof et al., 2018).The lowgrade bauxite was mixed with lime in a mass ratio of CaO/Al 2 O 3 equals to The ratio was chosen so that the produced slag would have leachable phases in a sodium carbonate solution, as claimed in the literature ...
Bauxite residue is a kind of strong alkaline waste produced in the production of alumina. Its longterm storage poses a potential threat to the environment. With the tightening of environment policies in various countries, the strong alkalinity of bauxite residue has become a bottleneck restricting .
This breakthrough has broadened the available bauxite reserves and effectively mitigated the harmful effects of SiO 2 during the Bayer leaching process while minimizing bauxite residue emissions. Calciumsilica slag (CSS) emerges as a solid residue generated during the chemical predesilication of medium and lowgrade bauxite.
The calcium ions enhance the ability of alkaline minerals to trap dissolved organic carbon, and the work highlighted the significance of organomineral associations in the microscopic mineral structure for the organic carbon sequestration in the revegetation process of bauxite residue disposal areas.
The added amount of calcium oxide has a large influence on the calcification dissolution process of bauxite, the mass fraction of Na 2 O in the calcified slag can be reduced to % when the ratio of calcium to silicon reaches :1, and the slag is a single hydrated garnet phase.
Calcium oxide plays an important role in alumina production by binding SiO2 from aluminosilicate raw materials (bauxite, nepheline, kaolinite, etc.) in aluminumfree compounds. The efficiency of the hydrochemical technology depends on the activities of calcium oxide or its compounds introduced into the alkaline aluminosilicate slurry. In this paper, we considered the effects of different ...

Generally, 12 tons of bauxite residue generated while producing 1 ton of alumina mainly depending on the bauxite quality and production process (Zhao et al., 2009; Jones et al., 2012; Deihimi et al., 2018; Borra et al., 2015).According to the statistics of the International Aluminium Institute (Aluminium, 2019), Fig. 1 illustrated the world alumina production since the 21 st century and the ...
This process involves the separation of alumina from unwanted components such as iron, titanium, silica, calcium, vanadium, manganese, etc., in bauxite. In this process, bauxite is heated along with the caustic soda at high pressure (~30 atm), resulting in the formation of sodium aluminate (reactions (1)(4) ) ( Gil, 2005; Ma et al ., 2009 ).
Bauxite residue, also known as red mud, is an abundant byproduct produced during the alumina production process from bauxite ore. As the demand for ecofriendly construction materials grows, researchers are exploring the potential of bauxite residue as a binding agent in cementitious composites. ... Thermally treated calcium carbide residue ...

The reduction reaction mechanism is expressed by the following equations
Data from alumina processing industry show an estimated global average production of bauxite residue (red mud) to be 1 to ton per ton of alumina, or about 150 million ton of red mud is produced annually. [ 1]
Aluminium ore bauxite can be found in a variety of applications. As calcined bauxite, this raw material is a central raw material in the refractory industry thanks to its highly refractory properties. This versatile mineral is also in demand in steel production as slag conditioner, in the production of refractory aluminium oxide cement, in road construction, in mineral wool production and as ...
Bauxite residue, an industrial alkaline solid waste, has a low organic carbon content which hinders plant growth. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) drives many biogeochemical processes including carbon storage and soil formation in soils. Input of exogenous organic materials may provide organic carbon and accelerate soil formation processes in ...
A typical calcination process involves the conversion of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide. (begin{array}{l}CaCo^{3}overset{Delta h}{rightarrow} CaO+ Coend{array} ) ... Calcination of bauxite and gypsum involving the removal of water of crystallisation in the form of water vapour.
In addition, slaked lime (Ca(OH) 2) is typically added within the Bayer process to enhance extraction of the available alumina from bauxite and this can lead to the formation of many solid phase calcium hydroxides, carbonates and aluminates, such as TCA (tricalcium aluminate — Ca 3 Al 2 (OH) 12). These solids act as an alkalinity store and ...
The beneficiation process of bauxite (Alore) generates over 10 mi tons of waste clay disposed of in tailing ponds. The purpose of this work was to test this material to produce CSAbased cements. Raw mixtures with the clay were formulated to maximize ye'elimite contents in the clinkers. A CSAbelite clinker composed of 46% of ye'elimite ...
Bauxite is a mixture of minerals which contain, as well as impurities, different concentrations of hydrated aluminium oxides. Gibbsite (alumina trihydrate), boehmite, and diaspore (alumina monohydrates) are the main ore minerals. Bauxite is a highaluminiumcontent rock. That is the main ore that aluminium is mined from.
The gibbsite bauxite from Shandong was also processed with CalcificationCarbonization method. The gibbsite bauxite is easier to dispose than diasporic bauxite, so a lower calcification temperature is chosen at 180 °C. The concentration of Na 2 O and Al 2 O 3 is and g·L −1. The calciumsilicate ratio n(CaO)/n(SiO 2) = 3: The ...

Bayer process. The presence of iron and calcium impurities in bauxite also introduces difficulties in its utilization in abrasives, ceramics, and refractories [11]. Different methods of beneficiation are being used to reduce the amount of silica, iron and calcium impurities in bauxite. Here both physicochemical as well as biotechnological ...
This study investigates the properties of H2reduced calciumadded bauxite residue, selfhardened pellets, and the feasibility of iron recovery through electrostatic and magnetic separation methods. The oxide pellets are prepared via a mixing of bauxite residue, calcite, and quicklime. The selfhardened pellets are reduced at 1000 °C with hydrogen gas flow for 120 min.
Bauxite containing less than 50% Al 2 O 3 is called lowgrade bauxite ore, which is generally used for the production of aluminum appliances such as abrasives, ceramics, and refractories . The presence of impurities, including silica, iron oxides, and calcium contribute to the bauxite being classified as a lowgrade ore.
