red mud bauxite residue an unnecessary problem
Rheology of concentrated bauxite residue suspensions
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. The existing disposal method of pumping the residue to settling ponds
