Red mud, the highly alkaline by‐product of the Bayer process for alumina extraction from bauxite, poses significant environmental and economic challenges due to its vast global accumulation. Current ...

The production of aluminium generates around 180 million tonnes of toxic red mud every year. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung, a centre for iron research, have now shown how ...

Aluminum production creates a toxic byproduct known as red mud. In an effort to cut down on this waste, researchers have figured out a way to send electric pulses through the mud to purify it and ...

Aluminum is vital for making lightweight cars, beverage cans, and kitchen utensils. But its production creates a by-product called red mud, a caustic slurry containing iron and other metals. The large ...

The huge reservoirs of hazardous red mud that are produced as part of refining aluminium could be used to make greener steel. There are roughly 4 billion tonnes of red mud stored around the world, ...

For years, toxic and slightly radioactive red mud and dust from the waste ponds of a shuttered alumina plant have bothered neighborhoods near Gonzales. But local leaders are working on a solution to ...

An economical process with green hydrogen can be used to extract CO2-free iron from the red mud generated in aluminum production. The production of aluminium generates around 180 million tonnes of ...
