Opportunities for use of bauxite residue in special cements
Overview of the use of bauxite residue in cement. Bauxite residue may be used in cement production in several ways including as a raw material in the production of Portland cement clinker, as pozzolanic material which is used in mortar or concrete mix or in certain types of ‘special’ cement.
· Red mud is a slimy caustic residue generated from alumina refining of bauxite ores. During the alumina extraction process, about 35 %–40 % of the bauxite ores go into the residue as highly alkaline red mud slurry (pH 10.0–12.5) which contains 15 %–40 % of solid phase in volume [ 1, 2 ]. Depending on the quality of bauxite ores, producing

ABSTRACT Bauxite is an important mineral ore that is widely used in aluminum industry for metallurgical and refractory purposes. However bauxite contains silica as an impurity which degrades its quality. Silica forms complex with the caustic used during the processing of ore thereby forming precipitates. This leads to unnecessary wastage of caustic that
