Studies at Alunorte indicate that compared to dry stacking technology, the benefits of dry disposal would be an increase of the red mud solids content from 64 wt.% to 80 wt.%, a reduction of the overall amount of red mud by 20 wt.%, and a reduction of the liquid disposed with the red mud by …

The red mud specific surface area (BET) generally lies between the ranges of 20–30 m. 2 /g [25]. Huang . et al. 2[26] noticed the Australian red mud had a specific surface area around 22.71 m /g, similar the value found for Han . et al.: 23.53 m. 2 /g [24]. The surface area can be lower when the red mud is calcined at high temperatures (>600 ...

The disposal of red mud remains an environmental concern all around in the alumina- aluminium producing countries. With other process residues (Caustic soda, lime etc.) and impurities added up, the amount of red mud getting generated continuously is around 2-2.5 Tons per ton of alumina and twice that amount for every ton of aluminium metal ...

Months later, in the dry season, the same town was enveloped in by a red dust cloud, harming the soil and air quality. According to later investigations, the toxic dust and red mud were caused by a leak of chemical tailings in a nearby facility owned by …

The pH value of red mud is 10–12 due to sodium values, and high alkalinity makes it corrosive. The red mud particles have fine morphology with an average particle size of less than 10 µm and a density of 3–3.8 g/cm 3.The specific surface area of the particles lies in the range of 10–25 m 2 /g, which depends dominantly upon the processing temperature (Rai et al., 2020).

In February 2018, the red mud reservoir of alunorte alumina plant leaked pollutants. After that, it experienced production reduction and shutdown, and the production capacity slowly increased to 85% in the middle of last year; In December 2019, the production of paragominas mine was suspended due to the collapse of power transmission tower;

Alunorte, like most of the world's refineries, uses the Bayer process to extract alumina from bauxite. This production technique also creates a mix of by-products, known in the industry as 'red mud', which is typically stored in tailings dams or containment ponds that are facing increased scrutiny following two deadly dam bursts in Brazil.
