Bauxite residue, sometimes called red mud, or bauxite tailings, is the solid material remaining after digestion in the Bayer process and includes the compounds not dissolved by the sodium hydroxide and the compounds formed during the desilication, autoclaving, and other stages of the process (see Chaps. 4 and 5 ).

Bauxite is generally extracted by open cast mining, being almost always found near the surface, with processes that vary slightly depending on the location. Before mining can commence the land needs to be cleared of timber and vegetation.

Vast amounts of red mud are produced at bauxite processing plants and stored in lagoons, often formed by flooding playedout bauxite pits when the ore is processed close to where it was mined.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION: BAUXITE MINING Bauxite is the principal ore of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), which is used to produce aluminum (Al). It is composed of hydrated aluminum oxides, hydrated aluminosilicates, iron oxides, hydrated iron oxides, titanium oxide, and silica.

From 1986 onwards, all bauxite mined in Suriname was processed into alumina. In 1999, the smelter closed, while production and export of alumina continued until closure of the refinery in 2015. Bauxite production, for the best part of the 21st century, averaged about 5Mt per annum, with a bauxite blend from Moengo and Onverdacht areas which was ...

A brief insight into the conventional Bayer bauxite digestion process demonstrates that during the low temperature digestion, gibbsite and clay minerals of bauxite gets dissolved, with formation of sodalite as one of the end reaction product. While the high temperature digestion results in boehmite and diaspore solubilisation that starts ...

Bauxite, the main ore for aluminium, is another bulk material that may contain trace but significant quantities of REE. Extraction of REE, including Sc, may be possible from bauxite as it is processed, or from red mud waste. Even though the concentrations of REE are low, given the large amounts of bauxite processed, production could be significant.

Bauxite is a mineral that is used to make aluminum. It is a hard mineral that is widely available and is often found in rivers. It is extracted from the ground and processed into aluminum. The process of mining this mineral is referred to as bauxite mining. Bauxite mining can be difficult, but it is an important part of aluminum production.

In terms of fluoride removal performance, experiments conducted in synthetic groundwater (prepared using recipes from the British Geologic Survey [3]) to reduce fluoride from an initial concentration of 10 mg F − /L to below the WHO MCL of mg F − /L showed that Guinea, Ghana, and USA bauxites performed similarly, with minimum required doses ...

Bauxite is the main source for alumina production. With the rapid development of iron and steel industry and aluminum industry, highquality iron ore and bauxite resources become increasingly tense. However, a lot of ironrich bauxite and Bayer red mud resources have not been timely and effectively recycled, resulting in serious problems of environmental pollution and wastage of resources.

The Bayer process is applied to bauxite to create higher grades of alumina that can be used in elevated temperature applications. Bauxite used in refractory applications is usually calcined in a rotary kiln, creating a material that mostly contains mullite (3Al 2 O 2), corundum (alphaAl 2 O 3), and a small quantity of a glassy phase.

Alumina is produced from bauxite in the wellestablished Bayer process, followed by a calcination process. This Bayer process was invented in 1888 by Carl Josef Bayer and contributed with the development of aluminium to the ongoing industrial revolution. The Bayer process produces pure aluminium hydroxide from bauxite.

The Bayer process: How alumina is produced from bauxite. The Bayer process is carried out in four steps. First, after the bauxite is crushed, washed and dried, it is dissolved with caustic soda at high temperatures. Next, the mixture is filtered to remove the impurities, called "red mud," which is properly discarded. The remaining alumina ...
