Mining and Refining – Bauxite Residue Management
Bauxite residue is a by-product of the Bayer Process. It is primarily composed of the insoluble fraction of the bauxite ore that remains after extraction of the aluminium-containing components. Iron oxides (10 – 30%), titanium dioxide (2 – 15%), silicon oxide (5 – 20%) and undissolved alumina (0 – 20%) make up the residue, together with ...

Mining and Refining – Process
Before mining can commence the land needs to be cleared of timber and vegetation. Alongside this process may be the collection of seeds and/or saplings, for inclusion in a seedbank, which will form the basis of post-mining revegetation of the site. Next the top soil is removed and is usually also stored for replacement during rehabilitation.

Mining: Process
Mining: The process. Around 8% of the earth's crust is aluminium, and no more abundant metal exists on the planet. However, aluminium is never found in a pure state in nature. Instead, aluminium oxide compounds (alumina) are most often found in the sedimentary rock bauxite, which is the primary ore of aluminium.

Bauxite Mining and Alumina Refining: Process Description and
Alumina refining produces alumina (Al 2 O 3) from the bauxite ore, by exploiting the reversible reaction of the Bayer process 1–3: The reaction is firstly driven in the sodium aluminate (NaAlO 2) direction by the addition of caustic soda (NaOH) to bauxite. Bauxite residues are then removed, leaving the process liquid, termed "green liquor."

As a hybrid process, bauxite residue undergoes a reductive smelting process with lime addition in an electric arc furnace in order to generate alumina-enriched slag. This slag is subsequently treated with high-pressure caustic leaching at moderated (200–300 g/l) and high (572–762 g/l) sodium hydroxide concentrations.

Rehabilitating red mud
Aluminium is a vital, versatile metal. But while it's easily recyclable, we need to produce more to meet global demand. To make aluminium, bauxite is refined into alumina and then processed into aluminium. The alumina refining process produces a residue slurry, often called "red mud", which plants can't grow in when it's untreated.
