Red mud (RM) is a solid waste generated by alkali (NaOH) leaching of bauxite by the Bayer process for alumina production [].More than one ton of RM is produced for one ton of alumina (Al 2 O 3), and over 150 Mt of RM is annually stored in landfills and sea [].The RM utilization degree is extremely low due to the high Na, Al, Si, and Ca content because these elements increase ...
Experimental Method. In this study, the recovery of precious metals from bauxite ore was examined by a twostage leaching process.

Thus, this process doesn't look compatible with laterite where the iron content is much higher than typical lowgrade bauxite. Hence, an alternative acid leaching extraction was planned. For any earth material extraction process, the study of the kinetic behavior of element extraction is crucial to make the process efficient.
Bauxite residue (BR) is a hazardous industrial waste and also becomes an important reserve of rare earth elements (REE). An elegant process for achieving separation of REEs against silica from an ironremoved BR was established in this paper through selective leaching of silica with simultaneous enrichment of REEs.

Leaching Process Examples. The leaching process example includes the leaching of bauxite or Al2O3 . 2H₂O with the concentrated and heated sodium hydroxide. The concentrated NaOH here tends to dissolve the aluminium present in the given bauxite, while on the other hand, the impurities like SiO2, TiO2, and Fe2O3 do not get dissolved.
Acid leaching. In order to recover scandium and other rare earth metals, red mud is often dissolved by leaching with acids. The investigations on acid leaching of scandium from bauxite residue were extensively carried out [51, 53, 78, 8993].Zhang et al. [] used HCl for leaching of scandium from red mud, and the optimum leaching condition was determined as HCl concentration of 6 mol·L ...
In this process, bauxite residue is smelted at 1500 °C or higher in presence of a flux and a reductant to produce pig iron and slag. Alumina in the produced slag is mainly in the form of calcium aluminate that can be treated with Na 2 CO 3 solution. The leach residue generated from this process is known as gray mud.
