Accelerating Bauxite Residue Remediation with Microbial Biotechnology

2019
Biological neutralisation of pH, driven by the microbial fermentation of added organic carbon substrates such as glucose, has recently emerged as a promising technique for remediation of bauxite residue, dropping pH from >11 to

Potential Application of Treated Bauxite Residue

2021
Bauxite residue is a significant industrial solid waste residue produced by the Bayer process for the extraction of alumina from bauxite ores. It is usually disposed off in the form of slurry in the nearby areas of the alumina industry. About 400 million tons of bauxite residues are produced annually worldwide.

Transforming bauxite residue into soil

2016
The annual production of red mud, a by-product from the Bayer process of alumina production, is estimated at 120 Mt. Red mud deposit could be bioremediated (Grafe and Klauber 2011). A low cost and sustainable in situ remediation method for transformation of bauxite residue into soil is designed and tested.

Comparison of the Rheology of Bauxite Residue Suspensions

2016
The paper presents an overview on the rheology of bauxite residue suspensions. Comparative viscosity and yield stress data are presented for bauxite residues generated in Australia, Jamaica, Surinam, and the USA. A yield stress for optimum dry disposal is specified as is the concentration for minimum energy consumption for the pumping of the four ...

Advanced characterisation of bauxite residue

2018
Bauxite residue is the solid waste produced in the extraction of alumina from bauxite using the Bayer process. Questions on how to manage and utilise bauxite residue have been the subject of considerable research by both institutes and industry. Despite these efforts, efficient recovery of valuable components is difficult to achieve, partly due to the ...

An Ecological Approach to the Rehabilitation of Bauxite Residue

2019
Bauxite residues can pose an environmental risk mainly because of their alkaline nature and the presence of trace elements. Phytostabilization seems to be a promising rehabilitation option and physicochemical assessment remains the primary indicator of rehabilitation success.

Environmental Management by Recycling of Bauxite Residue

Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing
ABSTRACT Bauxite residue is an industrial by‐product generated during alumina production from bauxite ore through the Bayer process. The worldwide stockpiles of bauxite residue are expected to reach 10 billion tons by 2050 if not processed effectively.

Induction of Biological Activity in Bauxite Residue

2016
Bauxite residue lakes constitute the major environmental problem at alumina processing plants because their high alkalinity content is hostile to flora and fauna. Bench experiments have been conducted to determine if bauxite residue can be made non-hostile through biological activity.

Rheology of concentrated bauxite residue suspensions

2017
In the Bayer process where aluminium oxide is extracted from bauxite, a solid residue is generated and accumulated in enormous quantities. A typical alumina refinery may produce 10,000 tonnes per day of dry solid waste, one-third to one-half of which is fine mud, known as red mud, and the remainder is sand-sized materials.
