Influence of free silica in the production of synthetic aggregates from bauxite residue
The residue from the Bayer process has physicochemical characteristics that allow its use in the production of synthetic aggregate, although some characteristics such as low plasticity and water absorption still need better control.

Rare Earths and the Balance Problem: How to Deal with Changing Markets? [PDF]
The balance between the market demand and the natural abundance of the rare-earth elements (REEs) in ores, often referred to as the Balance Problem (or the Balancing Problem), is a major issue for REE suppliers.

Formation, properties and revegetation prospects for bauxite processing residue and the effects of seawater neutralization [PDF]
Partial neutralisation of bauxite residue (by treatment with seawater) prior to its deposition in land-based lagoons or impoundments minimises the need to treat the alkaline, sodic drainage both during operation of the alumina refinery and following its ...

Radiological assessment of the bauxite residue valorization chain [PDF]
The behavior of radionuclides in the bauxite residue valorization chain has been analyzed, and accumulation ratios have been measured for secondary residues produced after recovery of valuable metals. Key analysis outcomes are valid specifically for the processes and raw materials in use at the Aluminium of Greece plant and are as follows: the ...

Carbothermic Reduction of Bauxite Residue.
A recovery method of iron component as metallic phase from bauxite residue (red mud) discharged from Bayer process was examined. Tablets prepared with fine mixtures of red mud and carbonaceous materials were heated up to various temperatures to reduce iron oxides in the red mud.
