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 ...

A team at Rice University has unveiled a fast and cleaner method to extract aluminum and strip toxic metals from bauxite residue, also called red mud. The hazardous by-product of aluminum production ...

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 ...

According to their findings, after carbonisation, the capacity of red mud to remove metal contaminants, particularly lead and copper, from water improves ten-fold as compared to red mud that has been ...

NALCO’s proposed programme seeks to convert this liability into a resource by extracting critical and valuable minerals while ...

An industry produces more than one tonne of red mud to get one tonne of alumina He said they have used thermal beneficiation and extraction methods to separate the materials. This pilot plant can be ...

Robyn Williams: Now let's see whether we can grow some salad for lunch. Take some flat desert, sprinkle with toxic waste, add some cyanide tailings and away you go. I suspect that's not how you'd do ...

According to the industry data, NALCO has accumulated around 7.13 million tonnes (or 71.3 lakh tonnes) of red mud from ...

KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jamaican and Japanese officials on Monday launched a pilot project designed to investigate whether rare-earth elements can be commercially extracted from the island's bauxite waste ...

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 ...

As farmers in Hungary ponder spring planting on hundreds of acres of farmland affected by last October's red mud disaster, scientists are reporting that high alkalinity is the main threat to a ...
