Red Mud Futures

Red Mud Futures: Repurposing One of the World’s Largest Industrial Waste By-products is one of the most authoritative compilations on the topic of utilization and remediation of bauxite residue, and is based on a series of publications in Australian and international peer-reviewed scientific journals. The book explores the main aspects of bauxite residue, including sustainability and zero waste frameworks, conversion and sustainable reuse methods, nanofiltration and neutralization of caustic residue, blending methods and industrial know-how, mine site remediation and revegetation, and acidic blowdown sludge treatment. I highly recommend Red Mud Futures to students, researchers, scientists, engineers and planners working on the environmental aspects of solid waste disposal; R&D institutes, government organizations, alumina refineries and related industries will also find it extremely useful in their deliberations on red mud reuse and sustainable development. ?
