From aluminium to bauxite residue (red mud)
Bauxite Residue (red mud) Our big challenge • Key issues: • Mineralogically and chemically complex. • High pH • Fine particle size • Moist • Large volumes typically in remote locations ( = cost and CO. 2 . footprint of transport). • Use options typically competes with lowcost raw materials that are less energy demanding to process (waste versus CO. 2 emissions). 12.
