Bauxite residue is a kind of strong alkaline waste produced in the production of alumina. Its
long-term storage poses a potential threat to the environment. With the tightening of …

Fluoride in drinking water has a profound effect on teeth and bones. Up to a small level (1–
1.5 mg/L) this strengthens the enamel. Concentrations in the range of 1.5–4mg/L result in …

The paper serves to briefly review the disposal and storage of bauxite residue from the late
nineteenth century and discusses how the environmental aspects of storage and disposal …

Arsenic is a commonly occurring toxic metal in natural systems and is the root cause of many
diseases and disorders. Occurrence of arsenic contaminated water is reported from several …

Bauxite refinery residues (red mud) are derived from the Bayer process by the digestion of
crushed bauxite in concentrated caustic at elevated temperatures and pressures. Following …

Bayer process red muds are highly alkaline, and their disposal and potential for reuse are
complicated by high concentrations of sodium, high pH, and high alkalinity. Several methods …

In the Bayer process of extraction of alumina from bauxite, the insoluble product generated
after bauxite digestion with sodium hydroxide at elevated temperature and pressure is …

In this study, feasibility of using seawater to neutralize alkaline red mud for its safe disposal
has been studied using Taguchi's design of experimental methodology. Parameters such as …

Recycling and reusing industrial waste and by-products are topics of great importance
across all industries, but they hold particular significance in the metal industry. Aluminum …

Experimental sediment cores from Lake Ainsworth, Australia, were exposed to an induced
46-day, anoxic/oxic cycle in the laboratory, mimicking the seasonal thermal stratification …
